Drivers can monitor PSP record changes with new FMCSA subscription service
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) launched a free Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) monitoring service that can let drivers know of changes made to their safety record.
Only drivers can sign up for this optional, free monitoring service that will send an email to a driver any time that their PSP record changes.
According to FMCSA, to enroll in the service, drivers will need to log into PSP and go to the Driver Dashboard, then click on Enroll in PSP Monitoring.
The PSP report is a safety record maintained by the FMCSA that includes a truck driver’s 5-year crash and 3-year roadside inspection history. The FMCSA says the PSP is designed to “assist the motor carrier industry in assessing individual operators’ crash and serious safety violation history as a pre-employment condition.”
A PSP record displays the motor carrier for which the driver was operating for at the time of the crash or inspection. It also shows the location and date that a crash or inspection occurred. Additional safety details about crashes such as injuries, fatalities, and towaways are included in a PSP record. Likewise, inspections show details like whether a vehicle was placed out of service.
