Corra Group Now Offers PSP Driver Safety Reports to Any Size Commercial Trucking Company

Corra Group is now providing PSP Driver Safety Reports to any size commercial trucking and transportation company to better qualify prospective commercial drivers during the pre-employment screening phase of onboarding. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, or FMSCA, which issues these driver safety reports claims on its website, “Companies using PSP to screen new hires lower their crash rate by 8% and driver out-of-service rates by 17%, on average, compared to those that do not use PSP.”

“The PSP Driver Safety Report is a useful tool in assessing the viable safety protocol of any commercial driver,” said Corra Group Co-Founder, Nick Gustavson. The PSP Driver Safety Report is for commercial drivers only, or CDL’s. This is a valuable compliment to the motor vehicle driving record, or MVR, which are background checks trucking companies need to run on drivers as a pre-employment instrument and at least once a year to be compliant with the Department of Transportation mandates.

“Corra Group has now made it a policy to make PSP Driver Safety Reports available to all trucking and transportation companies, no matter how large or small,” said Gustavson. “That company needs to first open an account with us. There are no set up fees or monthly fees to open an account with Corra Group. However, any company needs to comply with our account evaluation protocols, before we give access to PSPs, MVRs, or any other background checks a client would require.”

Corra Group Looks to a Surge in Employment Screening for a Challenging Holiday Season

Corra Group sees challenges this year for employers looking to staff for the holiday season. As the El Segundo, California headquarter background checking service prepares for the seasonal holiday hiring, it cautions its clients to get an early start with the hiring process.

“Corra Group has seen a significant increase in employment screening, this past year,” said Corra Group Co-Founder Nick Gustavson. “As such, we can see that the job pool is substantially less competitive than it has been in recent years. Unemployment statistics reflect fewer people are looking for work, which adds pressure for employers seeking temporary help for seasonal work.

“A few years ago, it was much easier to find qualified job applicants who had decent skill sets and no worrisome criminal records who in need of work were happy to accept the temporary seasonal employment,” said Gustavson. “This is not the case so much as employers are now competing for the more qualified candidates who can afford to be more selective in their job searches.”

Gustavson offered that since the potential applicants in the job poor are far less than in seasons past, it is advisable that employers apply careful scrutiny to their applicants. He noted that a more comprehensive package of background checks is in order to weed out the employment candidates who even in a robust economy are having difficulty finding work.

Corra Group Offers Volume Discounts for Motor Vehicle Driving Records for Trucking Companies in the Energy Industry

Corra Group is now offering volume discounts to trucking companies who are part of the energy industry. As reported in a recent Wall Street Journal article, entitled “Hot Commodity in the Shale Boom: Truckers,” qualified drivers are commanded six figure salaries.

“Our clients in the trucking industry are ordering large volumes of Motor Vehicle Driving Records in their search for qualified drivers,” said Corra Group Co-Founder, Nick Gustavson. It’s really crazy. The shale and energy industry is booming and drivers are just so hard to find. Our clients are searching everywhere for licensed drivers. Including sometimes at the bottom of the barrel.

“Because of the need for trucking and transportation companies to sort out so many drivers as part of the current hiring process,” Corra Group is offering significant discounts to drivers ordering MVRS at high volume,” said Gustavson. “It lightens the cost a bit and reduces some of the hiring pain.”

Gustavson pointed out that Corra Group is a full service employment screening company with a package of background checks, especially for truckers. and can conduct a wide range of background checks, from MVRS to PSP reports, DOT Compliant employment verifications, and DOT compliant drug tests for companies with at least fifty drivers or more.
