county drivers
by Phelps, Jenny Jan. 23, 2020

Jan. 23, 2020

I have two questions for fellow CORSA members: 1. How are you getting information from your departments to know who is hired and who is no longer working for your county? Do the departments typically communicate that to you or are you getting reports from your auditor's office? I'm looking to find an efficient way of adding and removing people on the drivers lists. 2. Is each department that employs drivers with CDL licenses handling the new FMCSA clearinghouse requirements individually or is the Loss Control Program Coordinator running the queries and getting waivers signed? What does your process look like? Thank you! Jenny Phelps Loss Control Program Coordinator office: 419-774-6318 fax: 419-774-3581

DOT Clearing House
by Tricia Callihan Jan. 23, 2020

Jan. 23, 2020

Some CORSA Members have asked if the SambaSafety continuous state motor vehicle report (MVR) monitoring and/or pre-employment state motor vehicle report service fulfills a covered CDL employer's requirement to report and/or query the FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse. It is our understanding that it does not. State drivers license agencies (SDLAs) currently have the option to query the FMCSA Clearinghouse prior transactions, such as the issuance, transfer, and upgrade of a CDL. SDLAs will be required to conduct FMCSA Clearinghouse queries beginning January 6, 2023. Accordingly, state MVRs may, or may not, contain Clearinghouse information, but it is our understanding that obtaining a state MVR and/or SambaSafey continuous monitoring does not fulfill a covered employer's obligation to comply with the FMCSA Clearinghouse. Below is a brief overview of the FMCSA Clearinghouse with links to the US DOT's website that provides greater detail. This email is not legal advice nor should it be construed as legal advice. We strongly recommend that you consult your Prosecutor's Office or legal advisor to determine if you are subject to the FMCSA Clearinghouse and what, if any, action you need to take regarding same. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) recently implemented a new Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse to identify drivers prohibited from operating a commercial motor vehicle due to a drug and alcohol program violation. Covered CDL employers are required to report drug and alcohol program violations to the FMCSA Clearinghouse and conduct queries of the Clearinghouse, which check that current or prospective employees are not prohibited from performing safety-sensitive functions, such as operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV), due to an unresolved drug and alcohol program violation-that is, a violation for which the driver has not completed the return-to-duty (RTD) process. The Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse is a system required by the FMCSA for all CDL employers (https://clearinghouse.fmcsa.dot.gov/) Here is the direct link to the final rule: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/12/05/2016-27398/commercial-… "The purpose of the Clearinghouse, as mandated by section 32402 of MAP-21, is to maintain records of all drug and alcohol program violations in a central repository and require that employers query the system to determine whether current and prospective employees have incurred a drug or alcohol violation that would prohibit them from performing safety-sensitive functions covered by the FMCSA and U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) drug and alcohol testing regulations." Feel free to contact me with questions.

Does any counties have health insurance on their K-9's If so would it be provided by the same company that has employee health insurance. The question has been brought up to our commissioners since the K-9's are considered county employees.

Roadside assistance
by Emily Marth Aug. 9, 2019

Aug. 9, 2019

Please share how you handle a County vehicle breakdown and subsequent repair while on official business. Does the staff front the money for a repair and get reimbursed? Do all drivers have access to a County credit card? While this rarely happens, it has created an issue recently. Any information is appreciated. Thank you.
