FMCSA & Compliance
PSP (Pre-Employment Screening Program)
The Pre-Employment Screening Program is an FMCSA service that gives motor carriers a commercial driver's five-year crash history and three-year roadside inspection history. PSP reports draw on federal inspection data, require the driver's written consent, count as consumer reports under FCRA, and support better-informed pre-employment CDL hiring decisions.
The Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) is administered by FMCSA and provides motor carriers with a commercial driver's five-year crash history and three-year roadside inspection history, pulled from the Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS). PSP reports require the driver's written consent, are considered a consumer report under FCRA, and are widely used by trucking companies to make more informed pre-employment CDL hiring decisions. Fleegital automates PSP consent capture and pulls the report directly into the driver's DQF.
Why it matters for recruiting and operations
PSP data lets a recruiter catch a pattern of preventable crashes or serious inspection violations before a driver is ever seated, reducing downstream safety and insurance risk. Because it requires signed consent, PSP checks are also a timing bottleneck in prescreening — carriers that automate consent collection and report retrieval can clear qualified applicants faster without skipping the safety check.
