Description of MVR Processing

MVR Processing is the best service for obtaining motor vehicle records and is used by employers to ensure driver safety and compliance. Employers must maintain and keep for inspection a motor vehicle record (MVR) for each driver in their Driver Qualification file (DQ File). The carrier/employer must request each driver/employee's MVR every 12 months and must keep the record for 3 years. The carrier must review the motor vehicle records of drivers it employs to determine whether that driver meets minimum requirements for safe driving or is disqualified to drive a CMV (per C.F.R. 391.15).
