Driving Records

Watson · August 2005

Our insurance carrier is requiring us to start checking driving records. I need to draft a release for employees/potential employees to sign so we can obtain these records but I don't know what all needs to be in it. Does anyone have a form they'd share?

Check your private messages. I copied the wording from ours into a message for you.

Our state DMV has a form that is required to submit for request of records. You may check with your state's DMV too.

Watson, do you check driving records for all employees or only employees who will be driving company vehicles? I require all new employees to bring a copy of his/her driving record. We do periodic checks to assure no one is driving one of our vehicles on a suspended license. We don't have a policy that says we will do so, but now that I think about it, I should probably get a release form too.

Just did the same thing. I have a form that I can send. Email me.

Hey guys. Thanks for the replies. Our carrier wants us to check records for all employees just in case they might ever be asked to drive either a company vehicle or their own vehicle on the company's behalf. We've been told we have to get them to sign a release because we are checking their private records and that information could possibly be used against them in employment decisions if their record is bad. Now I need to figure out what goes into the release. I'm user-illiterate as to how to e-mail any of you individually though so those of you who have responded, I'm not ignoring you, I'm just plain ignorant! Please e-mail me any info you have if you don't mind at [email]watson@stepenv.com[/email].

Thanks again!
