Motor Vehicle Records Check (MVR)
Driving History Reports for Safer Hiring
If your employees operate company vehicles or drive as part of their job, you need to know their driving history before handing them the keys. Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) checks from Fast Track Backgrounds give you a clear, accurate picture of a candidate’s driving record so you can protect your company, your people, and the public.
Our MVR reports provide the insight you need to maintain safety, comply with regulations, and avoid costly liabilities.
What Is an MVR Check?
An MVR check pulls data directly from state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) databases. Depending on the state, it can include:
- License class and status
- License issue and expiration dates
- Traffic violations and convictions
- DUI or DWI offenses
- Accident history (when available)
- License suspensions or revocations
This information helps you determine if a candidate is safe and legally qualified to drive for your organization.
Why MVR Checks Matter
When drivers are behind the wheel representing your business, their actions impact your safety record, your insurance rates, and your reputation.
Example: A delivery company hires a driver without checking their MVR. Weeks later, the driver causes an accident while their license was actually suspended. A proper MVR check could have prevented the hire—and the legal fallout.
Benefits of running MVR checks include:
- Ensuring compliance with Department of Transportation (DOT) or industry regulations.
- Lowering insurance risks and premiums.
- Reducing accident and liability exposure.
- Protecting brand image in the community.
