Why it matters

In Transportation, a Hiring Mistake Does Not Stay in the Office. It Gets Behind the Wheel.

Transportation and logistics companies carry a level of public safety responsibility that few industries match. Your drivers operate vehicles weighing tens of thousands of pounds on public roads. Your cargo handlers manage shipments that can include hazardous materials, pharmaceutical products, and high-value goods. Your dispatchers and coordinators have access to route data, customer information, and supply chain details that represent real competitive and security value.

The regulatory environment reflects that responsibility. DOT regulations, FMCSA requirements, and state commercial driver licensing standards all impose specific screening and monitoring obligations on transportation employers that go well beyond a standard background check. And beyond regulatory compliance, the civil liability exposure from a preventable accident involving an inadequately screened driver is severe enough to threaten the business itself.

At 3rd Degree Screening, we help transportation and logistics companies:

Screen drivers, warehouse staff, dispatchers, and coordinators under one consistent compliant workflow
Meet DOT and FMCSA screening requirements for commercial drivers and safety-sensitive roles
Run motor vehicle record checks for every driver and operator role as a non-negotiable baseline
Verify commercial driver licenses, endorsements, and employment history for CDL roles
Support ongoing MVR monitoring so a post-hire license event does not surface after an accident

Why Choose Us

Why Transportation and Logistics Companies Choose 3rd Degree Screening

MVR checks as a non-negotiable baseline for every driver role

A motor vehicle record check is the single most important screening element for any role involving a vehicle. We build it into every driver and operator package automatically and offer ongoing MVR monitoring for fleets where a post-hire license event creates immediate safety and liability exposure.

DOT and FMCSA compliance support

Commercial driver screening under DOT and FMCSA regulations includes specific requirements for drug and alcohol testing, employment history verification going back three years, and safety performance history checks. We help you build a screening process that satisfies those obligations and documents compliance at every step.

CDL verification and endorsement confirmation

A commercial driver license check confirms that the credential exists, is current, carries the right endorsements for the vehicle class being operated, and has not been suspended or revoked in any state. For CDL roles, this is as important as a criminal history check.

Drug screening integrated for safety-sensitive roles

DOT-regulated carriers are required to conduct pre-employment drug screening for safety-sensitive positions. We coordinate DOT-compliant drug screening programs that integrate into your standard onboarding workflow so compliance is built in rather than bolted on.

Ongoing MVR monitoring for active drivers

Point-in-time screening at hire is the floor for transportation employers, not the ceiling. Our ongoing MVR monitoring alerts you when an active driver receives a new violation, suspension, or revocation so you are not discovering a disqualifying event after an incident on the road.

No setup fees, monthly minimums, or term commitments

Whether you run a regional fleet or a national logistics operation, you pay only for the checks you run.
