THE REPORT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT HOW THEY LEFT.

PSP, DAC and MVR show what was filed. They don't show the driver who took an advance and stopped answering. We read what previous carriers wrote.

Search runs on CDLScan. Figures on this site describe reviews carriers left there, not drivers in general.

WHAT THE REPORTS LEAVE OUT.

Every piece here starts from a number in the review data, then works back to the signal you could have caught on the application.

THE FILE IS CLEAN. THE HISTORY ISN'T.

Federal reports answer one question: what did somebody officially file? Walking off a load isn't filed anywhere. Only the last carrier knows.

What we can and can't see →

PSP

Pre-Employment Screening Program

Roadside inspections and crashes. Not how the job ended.

MVR

Motor Vehicle Record

Convictions and licence status. Not attendance.

CLEARINGHOUSE

FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse

Testing violations. Not the seat left empty in Ohio.

PEER REVIEWS

Written by the carriers who employed them

How the job actually ended. Every time someone reported it.

WRITTEN BY SOMEONE WHO HAS DONE THE HIRING

I'm Dave Richmond. I've spent my career hiring drivers, and I write these using review data CDLScan shares with me. Every number here comes from that data, and I check each one before it goes out.
