Motor carriers out of convenience may use an exception to 391.51 that allows motor carriers the option of accepting a DQ file when there is a merger or acquisition. As long as the driver does not have to reapply for the position (no break in employment), the new U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) employer can accept an existing file. This provision is optional. It is recommended to conduct an audit of each file accepted, note discrepancies, and take action as appropriate.
