Protecting Your Trucking Business: Why Background Checks Are Essential

In the trucking industry, safety and reliability are paramount. One critical component in maintaining operational integrity and compliance is conducting thorough background checks on drivers. Not only are these checks mandatory for regulatory compliance, but they also significantly impact your company's safety, reputation, and bottom line. Tacit Logistics, powered by HireRight, offers comprehensive background screening solutions tailored specifically for the trucking industry.

The Mandatory Nature of Background Checks

Trucking companies are legally required to perform background checks as outlined by the Department of Transportation (DOT). Non-compliance can lead to severe penalties, increased liability, and substantial financial loss.

Key Areas Covered in Mandatory Checks:

• Criminal History: Ensuring drivers have no violent or severe criminal convictions.
• Driving Records: Verifying a safe and reliable driving history.
• Drug & Alcohol Testing: Ensuring compliance with FMCSA drug and alcohol screening requirements.
