PSP helps carrier make more informed hiring decisions by providing secure electronic access to a commercial driver’s five yr. crash and 3 year inspection history from the FMCSA- MCMIS system. Records are available for commercial driver’s motor carriers and companies conducting DOT pre- employment D.O.T through the Amerisearch System. This system may be integrated into your packages or may be chosen a-la-carte.
According to the FMCSA: “Companies using PSP to screen new
hires lower their crash rate by 8% and driver out-of-service rates
by 17%, on average, compared to those that do not use PSP.”
