Is an employer required to conduct a pre-employment query of the Clearinghouse for a driver-applicant subject to 49 CFR Part 382 before administering a road test in accordance with 49 CFR 391.31?

No. An employer is not required to conduct a pre-employment query of the Clearinghouse before administering a road test to a prospective driver subject to 49 CFR part 382. Under § 382.701(a), employers are required to query the Clearinghouse when hiring a driver to perform safety sensitive functions. The road test occurs before the driver is hired; therefore, employers may conduct a pre-employment query at the time they road test a prospective driver but are not required to do so.
