Triple Database Package
($99)
Includes:
ORDER BACKGROUND CHECKTransportation and logistics employers should consider criminal activity and safety throughout the supply chain. Truck driver background checks and DOT driving record reports are crucial to protecting company liability.
DOT background checks and health assessments for CDL drivers ensure the safety of the company, customers, and other employees. This is especially critical following the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, trucking and transportation employers found themselves at risk for theft as consumers purchased large amounts of consumables out of fear. By providing truck driver background checks, employers can ensure their employees and applicants have the necessary qualifications and can be trusted with the equipment and merchandise.
Employers must follow federal laws and regulations with applicants and employees, including DOT background check compliance and the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

ORDER BACKGROUND CHECKTo reduce theft in the transportation and logistics industry, employers should run DOT background checks, offer security training to employees, conduct background checks and provide training to transportation partners, implement in-transit security measures, conduct audits, and install surveillance systems.
DOT background checks are a crucial component of the industry's safety by allowing employers to hire reliable, qualified employees. However, there are federal laws employers must comply with to protect the business from legal issues, to hire safe drivers, and to protect the employer and employees.
In addition to criminal background checks, employers must also look at the applicant's performance history. Each year, more than 400,000 accidents occur involving large commercial vehicles, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The Department of Transportation regulates the safety of the transportation industry.
49 CFR § 391.51 requires all motor carriers to maintain a driver qualification file for every driver which may be combined with the personnel file. The file must include a medical examiner's certificate.
According to 49 CFR § 391.23, transportation employers are required to run specific truck driver background checks for every applicant. Background checks for truck drivers go back three years in each state where the driver was licensed.
All employers must remain compliant with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), allowing applicants and employees the right to explain inaccuracies in background check results before a hiring decision or adverse employment action occurs. The FCRA protects the rights and privacy of applicants and employees.
If any information from a background check will cause adverse employment action, the applicant or employee must be notified and provided with the name, address, and phone number of the background check agency. Upon request, employees and applicants must be given their background check information and have the right to dispute or explain any inaccurate or incomplete information found in the report.
Department of Transportation (DOT) background checks ensure safety by determining that commercial drivers are qualified. Transportation employers regulated by the DOT must follow DOT compliance and conduct DOT background checks during the hiring process.
