FMCSA Adds data to pre-employment screening program for drivers

April 03, 2015 posted by Steve Brownstein

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration announced that its Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) now offers additional data on co-driver safety and post-crash violations.

The program started last May as an enhanced, voluntary screening tool to allow commercial bus and truck companies and individual drivers to purchase via the Web the most recent five years of crash data and three years of roadside inspection data from the FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System. FMCSA said PSP is a faster way for motor carriers and drivers to access the information than was previously available under the Freedom of Information Act or Privacy Act requests. The data is available 24/7.

The PSP report now shows the date drivers' safety records are updated. It neither provides information from traffic tickets prior to court dates nor data tied to convictions. PSP is separate from state DMV records and is not accessible by insurance companies.

PSP was mandated by Congress in the 2005 SAFTEA-LU reauthorization.
