Security best practices when vetting drivers

['Transportation Security']
Security best practices when vetting drivers
  • Employers should keep the company, employees, and community safe by following a strict driver vetting process.

Companies should vet drivers to verify that the person applying to transport shipments is not a security threat to themselves or the community. A responsible vetting process will include:

  • A background check,
  • Reference check,
  • Drug testing, and
  • Verifying specific information such as legal name and the names and titles of past supervisors.

Employers should document the vetting process for hiring managers. Outline the steps of the process. Show examples of what to do or ask before and after an applicant is interviewed. While completing the process for each driver may seem tedious, it can save valuable time, money and frustration while keeping the company, employees, and community safe.

HR topics to review as you hire motor carrier employees: Americans with Disabilities Act and Discrimination.
