- DUI and other driving-related convictions.
Who needs one
Any role where driving is a job function — delivery, field service, sales territories, transportation, and any employee assigned a company vehicle. Insurers frequently require MVRs on file, and DOT-regulated roles have their own additional requirements.
Driving records change continuously. Annual re-checks, or continuous monitoring, are the standard for fleet-based programs.
Frequently asked
How far back does an MVR go?
Typically three to seven years depending on the state and violation type. Some states report DUIs for ten years or longer.
Is a DUI on a criminal check too?
Usually yes — a DUI conviction appears on both the driving record and the criminal court record.
