Abbreviation: PSP
Pre-employment Screening Program
An FMCSA program giving employers access to a CDL driver's 5-year crash history and 3-year inspection data for pre-employment screening.
PSP data comes from FMCSA's Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS). Employers must obtain written driver consent before accessing PSP data. The report costs a small fee per inquiry. PSP is a voluntary tool and is separate from MVR records and Clearinghouse queries. Using PSP is considered a best practice for small fleet hiring.
