Corra Group Adds PSP Background Checks for DOT Employment Screening

Corra Group is now offering the expanded Pre-Employing Screening or PSP reports for the Trucking and Transportation Industry. The expanded PSP Report is put out by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and includes three years of crash history and five years of roadside inspection history for commercial drivers.

“We are happy to be adding the expanded PSP report to our list of background checking services we offer to the trucking and transportation industry,” said Corra Group Co-Founder, Nick Gustavson. “While the PSP report is not DOT mandated it makes driver safety data available to the human resources personnel responsible for hiring drivers of large trucks and busses.

“In addition to the PSP report, Corra Group offersMotor Vehicle Driving Records, or MVRS, as well as criminal background checks, DOT compliant drug screening and a DOT random management drug consortium.” said Gustavson. “Corra Group is a one-stop for nearly all DOT compliance mandates.”

Gustavson pointed out the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration recently completed a safety impact analysis on the Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP). FMCSA evaluated transportation companies that used PSP to screen commercial drivers on at least a monthly basis between 2010 and 2012. The study findings revealed that companies that use the PSP reports, on average, lowered their crash rates by 8% and driver out-of-service rates by 17%.
