FMCSA SCHEDULES WEBINAR ON PRE-EMPLOYMENT SCREENING PROGRAM
The FMCSA will be hosting a webinar on the new Pre-Employment Screening Program - providing an overview of the PSP program, and demonstrations of both the motor carrier and commercial driver online services. The webinar is scheduled for June 23, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern time.
The Pre-Employment Screening Program is a new, national-level program designed to offer motor carriers and commercial drivers electronic access to drivers' records from the Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS).
A PSP record contains a driver's crash and inspection history to help motor carriers make more informed hiring decisions. It allows carriers to take the crash and inspection history of drivers into account when deciding on hiring new employees.
The new program is voluntary, and a carrier must obtain the driver's written consent to access.
