  • FMCSA pre-employment screening program goes live

    • The database designed to help motor carriers screen prospective hires officially went online Tuesday, May 11.

    • The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration announced that motor carriers and drivers alike now have access to the driver records available through the agency’s Pre-Employment Screening Program – dubbed PSP.

    • The database includes driver information collected from crash records for the previous five years and roadside inspection data from the previous three years – regardless of the state the crash or inspection occurred in. It does not include a driver’s record from a state department of motor vehicles.

    • Motor carriers are only allowed to access information on drivers who have applied for a job and signed a consent form. Click here for a release form provided by FMCSA in the motor carrier enrollment package. The recommended consent form restricts information that motor carriers can obtain from the PSP data.

    • The program does not allow motor carriers to retrieve records of drivers they currently employ, according to the PSP’s frequently asked question section.

    • Motor carriers are charged an annual fee and a per record fee per driver file accessed. Small motor carriers of 100 trucks or less are charged a $25 annual fee, and motor carriers with 100 plus trucks are charged a $100 annual fee. The fee per driver record is $10.

    • Once motor carriers have enrolled in the program, they can access driver records online here. Motor carriers can use a third-party service to do the driver screenings, which would give the third party the ability to retrieve driver records on behalf of the motor carrier.

    • Drivers have online access to their records available to motor carriers through the PSP, for the $10 fee per record. There is no annual fee for drivers checking their own records. Individuals can also obtain a free copy by filing a Freedom of Information request with the FMCSA; however, it will take much longer to receive the records.

    • If the records include an error, drivers must work through FMCSA to clear up the problem. The website for data correction is https://dataqs.fmcsa.dot.gov/login.asp.
