DOT Employment Verification
Commercial drivers working under the regulations for the following are required to have pre-employment mandated driving and other record checks:
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
Maritime Administration fall under the Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations
One of the most critical requirements for drivers operating commercial vehicles is that they are drug and alcohol free. The DOT, as well as professional bodies like the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) emphasize this. For the DOT, Employing drugged up drivers is inexcusable - and the sanctions levied on employers who violate this are extremely severe.
The DOT and Federal motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) place certain minimum health requirements for driving positions which require holders of a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). Under normal circumstances, a CDL holder requires a Medical Examiner’s Certificate (ME certificate) which mus be valid in order for them to operate commercial vehicles.
