Driving history screening
At 3rd Degree Screening, we understand the importance of safe driving practices and the impact they can have on your organization. Our comprehensive Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) Checks provide crucial insights into your candidates' driving history — helping you make informed hiring decisions and ensure that every driver on your team is responsible, qualified, and safe.

MVR, CDLIS and PSP screening
Our MVR Checks provide comprehensive driving-related information including license status and class, endorsements and restrictions, traffic violations and citations, DUI/DWI offenses, and accident history — everything you need to assess a candidate's driving record.
For companies that employ commercial drivers, we offer Commercial Driver's License Information System (CDLIS) Checks — vital for ensuring that your commercial drivers hold valid, current commercial driver's licenses and comply with federal regulations.
Our Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) Checks provide access to a candidate's five-year crash history and three-year inspection history for commercial drivers — helping you assess safety records and make more informed decisions during the hiring process.
By conducting MVR Checks, CDLIS Checks, and PSP Screening, you demonstrate your commitment to safety and reduce the risk of accidents, potential liabilities, and reputational damage caused by unsafe driving practices.
Our MVR Checks access state DMV records directly in all 50 states — ensuring you get accurate, up-to-date driving history regardless of which state or states a candidate holds their license in.
We run MVR checks on every driver we hire. 3rd Degree accesses state DMV records directly — not just a national database — which means the results are more accurate and more current than anything we got from our previous vendor.

Fleet Operations Manager
A candidate had three speeding violations and a DUI that weren't disclosed on their application. The MVR check caught all of it before their first day. That is exactly what this screening is for.

Transportation HR Lead
PSP Screening gave us crash and inspection history we could not get anywhere else. For commercial driver hiring, it has become a non-negotiable part of our process.

How It Works
We access state DMV records and federal transportation databases directly to pull a candidate's complete driving history — delivering fast, accurate results across MVR Checks, CDLIS Checks, and PSP Screening in a single workflow.
Candidate consent is obtained and the driver's license number, state of issuance, and any other required details are submitted through the platform.
We query the DMV in the candidate's license state (and any additional states if applicable) for their full Motor Vehicle Record — including license status, violations, DUI/DWI records, and accident history.
For commercial driver roles, we simultaneously run a CDLIS Check to verify CDL validity and a PSP Check to retrieve the candidate's five-year crash and three-year inspection history from the FMCSA.
You receive a clear, comprehensive driving history report with all MVR, CDLIS, and PSP findings documented — with any violations, suspensions, or safety flags highlighted for your review.
Comprehensive coverage
Fleet safety
One negligent hiring decision for a driving role can result in serious accidents, lawsuits, and significant financial exposure. Our MVR Checks verify every driver's history before they get behind the wheel on your watch — giving you the confidence that comes with verified, accurate driving records.
Commercial drivers
Commercial Driver's License requirements and DOT safety standards demand more than a standard MVR. Our CDLIS Checks verify CDL validity and federal compliance, while PSP Screening surfaces five-year crash and three-year inspection history — the complete picture for commercial driver hiring.
DOT compliance
Transportation, logistics, and other DOT-regulated industries must meet specific screening standards for drivers. Our MVR, CDLIS, and PSP screening solutions are built to meet those requirements — keeping your operations compliant and your drivers fully qualified for every role they fill.
