Pre-employment Screening Program (PSP) allows commercial motor carrier companies to electronically access driver inspection and crash records as a part of the hiring process.  PSP is another way that we are raising the safety bar for the motor carrier industry and helps to make our roads safer for everyone.

The Pre-Employment Screening Program offers access to up to five years of driver crash data and three years of inspection data regardless of the state or jurisdiction. By using driver safety information during pre-employment screening, commercial carriers will be able to better assess the potential safety risks of prospective driver-employees. PSP also gives drivers additional opportunities to verify the data in their driving history and correct any discrepancies.  A driver’s records will be protected in accordance with federal privacy laws.
