How Do I Register for the FMCSA Clearinghouse?

New CDL holder here. My recruiter mentioned I need to register for something called the FMCSA Clearinghouse before I can start driving?

Can someone explain:

  • What exactly is the Clearinghouse?
  • How do I register?
  • Is there a fee?
  • What happens if I don’t register?

Feeling overwhelmed with all this paperwork. Any help appreciated! :+1:
