Driving Searches
Testing applicants for credibility and competency on the road is essential to organizations employing drivers. These important checks make it easy to choose the best motor vehicle operators for the job.
Minimize risks on the road with driving background checks.
Our driving background checks can provide your organization with reassurance when hiring transportation specialists. We can help you avoid applicants who:
- Operate carelessly, negligently, or recklessly
- Don't qualify for commercial vehicle operation
- Drive under the influence
Partner with Verified Credentials to ensure your drivers meet the highest safety and compliance standards — because every mile matters.
Types of driving searches
Our various search types include:
Commercial Driver’s License Information System (CDLIS) Search
Identify where your commercial drivers have been licensed. Our CDLIS search locates the current and up to three previous jurisdictions where a driver held a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) license. This insight helps you uncover additional licenses and supports targeted Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) ordering, reinforcing DOT compliance and operational safety.
DOT Employment Verification (FMCSA)
Streamline your hiring process with our Employment Verification DOT service. We verify past employment details, including safety performance history and accident information, to ensure compliance with DOT regulations. This process involves contacting previous employers and obtaining written responses to confirm employment dates and safety records.
DOT Physical Examination
Verify your employees' ability to perform their duties with our DOT Physical Examination. This comprehensive exam includes evaluations of vision, hearing, blood pressure, and overall physical fitness. Conducted by licensed medical examiners, the exam ensures that drivers meet the physical requirements for safe operation of commercial vehicles. Results are documented on the Medical Examiner's Certificate, valid for up to 24 months.
DOT Drug Test - Standard Panel
Ensure compliance with DOT regulations with our Standard Panel DOT Drug Test. This test screens for the most commonly abused substances, including marijuana (THC), cocaine, amphetamines, opioids, and phencyclidine (PCP). The process involves collecting a urine sample, which is then analyzed at certified laboratories.
DOT Drug Test - Standard Panel (Observed)
Ensure compliance with DOT regulations with our Standard Panel DOT Drug Test (Observed). This test screens for the most commonly abused substances, including marijuana (THC), cocaine, amphetamines, opioids, and phencyclidine (PCP). The process involves collecting a urine sample in the presence of a same-sex technician, which is then analyzed at certified laboratories.
