What is MVR and PSP?

Managing business in the trucking industry involves constantly monitoring the safety and reliability of your workers, especially drivers. The Motor Vehicle Report (MVR) and the Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) are two main tools for assessing a driver’s background. They provide insights into the employees’ driving history and overall safety record.

An MVR report involves information on such aspects as traffic violations, accidents, and any license suspension. Thus, it serves as a review of driving habits and legal standing. Companies often perform MVR checks as part of their hiring process to ensure that potential drivers have a safe driving record.

The PSP deeps even further into a driver’s history. It offers an overview of roadside inspection results, violations, and crash history. The program is set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to improve safety on the roads and help companies make more informed hiring decisions. That provides employers access to a driver’s safety performance history.
