Transportation Background Checks
Organizations in the transportation industry have specific types of background checks with DOT requirements for commercial vehicle operators.
The Department of Transportation has trucking regulations in place, as do individual states. DOT background checks investigate a job candidate’s driving record, health, and employment history, to determine the candidate’s ability to operate a commercial vehicle safely.
Company owners need to ensure their drivers are up to the job, as they are driving semi-tractor trailers, which can cause much damage and fatalities if involved in an accident. They are also hauling a load of valuable merchandise, and at times hazardous materials.
The transportation industry also includes ridesharing, such as Uber and Lyft. In this business, you must ensure the safety of the passengers.
