Assess Crash and Inspection Risk Before Hire
DOT employment screening through the Pre Employment Screening Program (PSP) provides federally sourced safety data including five years of crash history and three years of roadside inspection results for commercial drivers.
Run PSP Screening
WHY IT'S BETTER
PSP reports surface federally reported crash involvement, roadside inspection outcomes, and vehicle maintenance violations that state MVRs do not capture, providing the safety history visibility carriers need for DOT compliant hiring.
Federally sourced PSP data provides five year crash history and three year inspection history standardized across all states, delivering consistent safety information that varying state MVR formats cannot match.
Crash and inspection history within the lookback periods provide the objective safety indicators that enable data driven driver qualification decisions based on federal safety records.
Safety risk identification highlights the crash patterns, inspection failure rates, and violation trends that quantify each driver’s probability of future incidents with objective data.
DOT aligned qualification review applies federal safety standards consistently across all driver candidates using PSP data formatted for regulatory compliance and carrier decision making.
A Structured PSP Screening Workflow
Submit authorization and receive federal safety history in four steps:
Collect Driver Consent
Written driver authorization is collected as required by FMCSA regulations before PSP data can be accessed, with consent documented to demonstrate lawful federal database access.
Submit PSP Request
Driver information is submitted to federal PSP systems that provide standardized safety data including crash involvement and roadside inspection outcomes from FMCSA databases.
Review PSP Results
Results are reviewed for crash, inspection, and violation history that indicates safety risk, with federal data providing objective indicators for qualification assessment.
Receive PSP Report
A standardized report summarizes federal safety history with crash details, inspection results, and violation records formatted for hiring and compliance review.
Federal Driver Safety Insight with Compliance for Good™
PSP screening provides federally sourced commercial driver safety data through compliant access, standardized reporting,
and documented processes that support DOT qualification requirements.
Trust & Compliance
Consent handling, secure access, and audit trails support DOT compliance. Documentation supports audits and inspections.
PSP reports provide Pre-Employment Screening Program data from FMCSA systems including five years of crash history and three years of roadside inspection results. These federally standardized reports deliver the commercial driver safety information carriers use for DOT-compliant hiring decisions. GCheck’s PSP screening accesses this federal data to provide the safety history visibility that state-level sources cannot match in completeness or consistency.
Yes, written driver authorization is federally required before accessing PSP reports, and consent must be obtained for each individual screening request. PSP access without proper authorization violates FMCSA rules and can result in program access suspension. GCheck’s consent workflow captures and retains the documented authorization that proves lawful PSP access and protects your organization from federal compliance violations.
PSP crash history covers five years while inspection history covers three years, as defined by federal reporting standards rather than carrier preferences. These lookback periods balance comprehensive safety assessment with relevance to current driving performance. GCheck’s PSP reports clearly identify the applicable timeframes for each data type, ensuring your safety team understands the temporal scope of the federal history being evaluated.
Motor carriers, logistics companies, transportation providers, and any employer hiring DOT-regulated drivers routinely use PSP screening to meet federal safety requirements. DOT compliance demands documented review of federal safety history before placing drivers in service. GCheck’s PSP screening serves organizations with CDL driver programs that must meet FMCSA safety standards and demonstrate due diligence in driver qualification.
Yes, PSP reports follow FMCSA formatting standards and are accessed with documented driver authorization that meets federal requirements. Compliant workflows capture consent, document access dates, and retain records supporting lawful screening. GCheck’s PSP process ensures federal safety data is obtained and handled according to the regulations that govern this restricted information and protect your access to this critical safety program.
Yes, PSP screening integrates with ATS and driver qualification systems through API connections that centralize ordering, authorization collection, and report delivery. Integration maintains documented workflows and links PSP results to driver files for audit readiness. GCheck’s seamless integration ensures PSP screening fits within your existing qualification process while preserving the complete documentation that DOT compliance reviews require.
