Employers in the transportation industry, or those who have employees that drive for general business purposes, such as using a company car, can make more informed hiring decisions by including a state driving record search. A state driving record search will verify the current validity of a driver’s license. Additionally, employers may choose to implement this search to verify that the driver is qualified and fit for the safety-sensitive position. Employee-caused accidents can lead to higher insurance premiums, risk of injury or death, worker’s compensation claims, etc., which is why it’s important for employers to take preventative measures to ensure a safe hire every time.
