The Forms
The enclosed material ("New Hire Pak") contains the necessary forms for performing the initial DOT required background checks for new drivers. These forms are:
Application for Employment- When the driver accurately and legibly completes this application, we will able to enter the driver in our system and determine the necessary prior employer information.
Disclosure and Release-This signed form gives us permission from the driver to act as your agent to run the noted checks and provide you with all the information retrieved.
DAT-2-This form is only necessary if the driver currently has a CDL when applying for the position. He/she must complete one DAT-2 for each employer within two years prior to applying for the position.
Here is how it works
- Have the driver complete an Application for Employment (DQF-1) including the 10 years of prior employers listed on the back of the application.
Have the driver complete a DOT Disclosure and Release (DQF-DR).
- Have the driver complete as many Inquiry for Alcohol and Controlled Substances Information from Previous Employer Forms (DAT-2) as there were prior employers during the two years prior to the drivers application for employment with your company. The driver should only complete SECTION I.
- Make sure the driver has a pre-employment drug test prior to the driver performing safety sensitive functions.
- Fax or mail DQF-1 (both sides), DQF-DR, and the DAT-2 forms(s) along with the completed order form below and signed "Driver Qualification Program Enrollment".
