A Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) report is a point-in-time snapshot of a driver’s history, typically used during the pre-employment process to verify license status and past violations and re-verified annually. MVR Monitoring is a proactive safety service that continuously scans driver records and alerts you in real-time to new suspensions, accidents, or infractions as they occur, instead of waiting for a yearly check.
The FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse is a federal database that tracks drug and alcohol violations for commercial driver’s license (CDL) holders and Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP) holders. DOT-regulated employers are required by law to query the Clearinghouse during the hiring process and at least once annually to ensure drivers are not in a "prohibited" status.
A Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) report is a federal record that provides a commercial driver’s five-year history of crash data and a three-year history of roadside inspection data directly from the FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System’s database. This report is used by fleet managers to identify safety risks and equipment violations that are often excluded from a standard state-issued MVR.
To complete a DOT-compliant employment verification, you must investigate a driver’s Safety Performance History with all DOT-regulated employers from the previous three years. This investigation must be documented meticulously in the Driver Qualification File (DQF) within 30 days of hire.
