Why Run Background Checks?
Background checks are not required by the FMCSA, but they're a standard part of responsible hiring. They help you verify drivers are who they claim to be, check for disqualifying criminal history, protect your company from negligent hiring claims, and meet shipper or insurance requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a background check required by DOT? No. The DOT requires driver qualification files, drug testing, and MVRs, but not criminal background checks. However, many shippers and insurance companies require them as a condition of doing business.
What shows up on the background check? Criminal convictions, pending charges, sex offender status, and address history. We do not report arrests without convictions.
How far back does the criminal search go? It varies by state. Most states report 7-10 years of criminal history, though some have no time limit.
Do you run credit checks? Not included in the standard background check. Contact us if you need credit screening for your drivers.
