MVR
Driver's Motor Vehicle Record

Carrier must maintain a motor vehicle record for each driver in their Driver Qualification file. The carrier must request each driver'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. Driver's records can be obtained from the State motor vehicle department from which the driver's license is issued.
