Driver Qualification Files

Hiring a driver isn’t simply a matter of advertising for a position and performing interviews. Motor Carriers are required to comply with a number of regulations pertaining to both the hiring process and recording the driver’s safety history. For every driver that you employ you will be required to create and maintain separate Driver Qualification Files (DQF) and Safety Performance History (SPH) Files.

Background Screening Service

On of our most popular services, the Background Screening Service includes set up of both your Driver Qualification Files (DQF) and the Safety Performance History (SPH) File for each driver. Employers receive an Initial Screening PAK™ that includes all of the elements they are required to provide applicants and all the forms needed to begin the mandatory background and safety investigations. This service also includes a previous employer inquiry for the SPH File and a DMV/MVR report for the DQF folder.

DQF Set-Up Service

For each enrolled driver, we provide a Driver Qualification File complete with the required forms, our DQF Preliminary Audit Report and the driver’s Department of Motor Vehicle Report. This service is for employers who prefer to prepare Safety Performance History (SPH) files on their own.

DQF Maintenance

Designed to help you maintain current and compliant Driver Qualification Files once they are set up, our DQF Maintenance Service tracks all the documentation you are required to maintain in your files and provides you with reports indicating when a document is due to expire and the forms you need to renew.

DQF Audit Service

The DQF Audit service is designed to bring even the most disorganized Driver Qualification Files into compliance. We review your DQF and SPH files and pinpoint areas that need your immediate attention and help you complete any missing documentation that is required to be in your file.

DOT-Compliant Background Checks

In addition to the mandatory DOT background screening, we can perform the following checks to assist you with your hiring decision:

  • Criminal Record Report
  • Credit Checks
  • Worker’s Compensation Claims
  • Reference Checks
