Employers in the transportation industry, or those who have employees that drive for general business purposes, such as using a company car, can make more informed hiring decisions by including a state driving record search (also known as a Motor Vehicle Record or MVR). A state driving record search will verify the current validity of a driver’s license. Additionally, employers may choose to implement this search to verify that the driver is qualified and fit for the safety-sensitive position. Employee-caused accidents can lead to higher insurance premiums, risk of injury or death, worker's compensation claims, etc., which is why it’s important for employers to take preventative measures to ensure a safe hire every time.
WHAT THE CHECK INCLUDES
The State driving record search is conducted through the state, not a DISA database. Results vary by the state or the officer reporting the incident. Criminal activities are not reported on state driver records, but the following items may be included:
- Accidents
- DWI
- Speeding
- Arrests
- Convictions of moving violations
- Suspensions of driver licenses
**DISA does not alter data on MVRs! **
State driving records are sometimes mandatory depending on the position, or industry requirements and can be ordered for a variety of reasons:
- Identification of the applicant or employee
- Moving Violations
- Driving History
