Screening for DOT Compliance

The speed to hire in the Transportation industry cannot be over shadowed by the DOT regulated environment.

AccuSource understands the complex requirements of transportation screening, and has developed its DOT services to maximize the efficiency of your company’s screening efforts. Our DOT services can be ordered from the same web-based system as non-DOT services, providing a single system solution.

Recommended Services:
County Criminal Records Search Back to Top
A search for criminal convictions at the appropriate county courts, covering a seven year period for California and longer for all other states. Reveals felony and related misdemeanor convictions. Records can include: case numbers, offense and disposition dates, charge, type of charge, disposition, and sentence. Courts are searched directly at the source via in person, court Internet websites or direct connection into the courts index. Common names can cause delay in verifying criminal activity, files have to be pulled so identifiers, such as date of birth, middle name and driver’s license number, can be checked. Typographical, data entry and/or court filing errors can cause accuracy issues. Also, running a partial or “nickname” (i.e. running Bob instead of Robert) can create accuracy issues. It is recommended that all names, including alias and maiden names be run at all jurisdictions for a seven year period. This will maximize the search results and accuracy.

DOT drug and alcohol history verification Back to Top
Verifies DOT regulated drug and alcohol testing records through all applicable previous employers. Information can include alcohol tests with a result of 0.04 or higher, verified positive drug tests, refusals to be tested, and documentation, if available, of completion of the return-to-duty process following violations. DOT records are only maintained back three years.

Motor Vehicle Record Back to Top
Search of the state Bureau of Motor Vehicle records for driver information. These records vary by state, providing different information. Information can include license status, license class, issue date, expiration date, violations, suspensions, licensee address, date of birth and physical description. The MVR record is the best source for verifying an applicant’s DOB. The number of years shown on driving reports varies by state, so criminal traffic offenses may not always appear on the MVR report; only the suspension/cancellation will show. The MVR report can be affected if the license number provided by the applicant is an ID card number or if it is not formatted correctly for the provided state.

Social Security Number Trace/Validation Back to Top
Validates the social security number provided by the applicant by comparing it to the Social Security Administration’s order of issuance.
