The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Commercial Drivers Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) provides motor carriers with electronic access to individual drivers’ crash and inspection histories with previous employers. The information is intended to aid motor carriers in assessing potential safety risks of prospective drivers

Scope

The PSP program applies to motor carriers (including owner-operators) and their drivers who are currently operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) under a USDOT number in interstate commerce.

Regulatory citations

  • None

Key definitions

  • None

Summary of requirements

The PSP information is derived from FMCSA’s Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS). MCMIS is comprised of driver performance data including:

  • Roadside inspection and compliance review results,
  • Enforcement data,
  • State-reported crashes, and
  • Motor carrier census data.

Drivers must give written consent before the records may be released to a motor carrier.

Drivers will also be able to obtain their own crash and inspection data to verify and correct any discrepancies.
