Two More States Raising Fees for MVRs

The Motor Vehicle Driving Report or MVR is a major background check for trucking and transportation firms as well as employers with sales people and delivery people.   The MVR is also a good source of income for States’ Departments of Motor Vehicles, or DMV.   So with all the states suffering from the economic downturn, small wonder we are seeing rates being raised for driving reports.

I have commented on the MVR fee raises on several occasions, including a recent blog.  But for you truckers out there, it makes sense to remind you of the motor vehicle driving records increases.I am sure, before it is all, over, every state will have raised its rates.    Quite a few already have.   As of January 1st, 2010, two more states will join the list.   Idaho will be raising the fees for its MVRs from $6.00 per abstract to $9.00

Alabama will be increasing its fees for motor vehicle driving records from $7.00 per abstract to $7.75.

Hey, it’s still worth the money.
