Driving Records
Motor vehicle record searches provide available information about an applicant’s driving history, including license status and reportable violations or other driving-related records.
This screening can be especially important when driving is an essential responsibility of the position. Driving records can also be relevant for employees who occasionally operate a vehicle on company business.
POEknows provides motor vehicle record screening as part of a comprehensive employment screening program customized to your organization and the positions you are looking to fill.
Driving Responsibilities Aren’t Always in the Job Title
An employee doesn’t have to be a professional driver to get behind the wheel for work. Occasional errands, client transportation, deliveries and other business activities can make driving history relevant to positions you might not immediately consider driving-related.
Regular Drivers
For employees who routinely operate company vehicles, make deliveries, travel between locations or drive as a primary job responsibility, motor vehicle records can be an important screening resource.
Occasional Business Driving
An employee may occasionally drive to the bank, post office, supply house or another business location even though driving isn’t part of the employee’s primary job description.
Client Transportation
Organizations whose employees may transport customers, clients, residents or other individuals can use driving record information as another part of their screening process.
Know Before an Employee Gets Behind the Wheel
A motor vehicle record can help an employer review available license and driving-history information before assigning driving responsibilities.
Depending on the jurisdiction and information available, motor vehicle records may include license status, reportable violations and other driving-related records.
Including driving records in an established screening process can help employers make more informed decisions when assigning employees to positions involving company-related driving.
