Approximately 177,000 Commercial Driver's License (CDL) and Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) holders are currently in "prohibited" status within the FMCSA's Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse due to drug and alcohol violations. This means they are not legally permitted to operate commercial vehicles and could face license downgrades or revocations. Many of these drivers have not yet begun the process to regain their driving privileges.
