Transportation Industry Products

Motor Vehicle Record Search
ScreeningOne’s Motor Vehicle Record Search obtains the driving record report from the specified state's department of motor vehicles. Our direct connection to state departments of motor vehicles enables ScreeningOne to have expedited turnaround times for our clients. All motor vehicle records obtained through the ScreeningOne system have a user friendly, readable format that interprets the various state codes and provides a report that is uniform across all states.

Commercial Driver’s License Information Systems (CDLIS)
The CDLIS report is a required report for all of our clients within the commercial trucking industry. Section 391.23 (a) (1) of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations requires an employer to obtain a driver’s record for any license held within three years prior to employment. This report provides commercial driving
records for three years, verification of driving privileges, previously held licenses, names used and identification verification.

Credit History
Credit history is reviewed by obtaining a credit bureau report from a national credit bureau/repository. We have on-line access to Experian and TransUnion credit bureau systems. The bureaus are repositories of credit and debt information, as well as public records such as bankruptcy proceedings, collection accounts and civil litigation records.

Social Security Number Verification
Social Security Number Verification is achieved through a search of more than 190 million consumer records contained in the credit bureau files. This information can also be compared with the relevant residential address history on the employment application to ensure the accuracy of the records provided by the applicants. The Social Security Number Verification is an excellent investigative “starting point.”

Employment History Verification
Employment History Verification is obtained through direct contact with a supervisor or through the Human Resources Department. ScreeningOne has created a basic verification program to obtain pertinent information from previous employers. The flexibility of this program enables clients to obtain any additional information that is not included in ScreeningOne’s comprehensive scan. ScreeningOne’s specially trained Employment Investigators are highly versed in employment verification, allowing them to obtain valuable information and insight into an applicant’s previous employment history.

Drug Screening
Drug Screening is utilized to identify applicants or employees who are current users of illegal drugs through analysis of a body fluid or specimen. ScreeningOne provides comprehensive implementation and management of a urine drug screening program for applicants and incumbent employees from its service centers. ScreeningOne identifies and coordinates specimen collection services, laboratory analysis, and physician review and reporting of test results, and many other program administration services. ScreeningOne’s Medical Review Officer is a nationally recognized expert in Drug Testing, keeping ScreeningOne at the very forefront of both compliance and Drug Testing technology.

County Courthouse Records Search
The majority of all criminal record searching is done at the county level. Pursuant to state statutes, criminal offenses and records located at both the county and state levels are categorized as either felonies or misdemeanors based on the severity of the offense. The search locations are selected based on information provided within the social security number report, information in the employment application, or designated by the client.

Civil Records Search
A search of the upper and/or lower court records provides a report of any civil litigation listed on the index involving a particular individual matched by name only. Results include the names of plaintiff and defendant, date filed, type of action, and current status or disposition. The standard civil index search encompasses the last 7 years of activity within each court. We also offer a 10 year civil index search.

Federal Criminal Repository Search
Federal crimes are tried in U.S. Federal District Courts within each state. This search will return convictions for violations of federal criminal laws, including federal criminal fraud statutes, drug trafficking, conspiracy, counterfeiting, and a number of violent crimes. ScreeningOne accesses these records via field agents, or on-line, whichever method is applicable.

I-9 Verification
ScreeningOne’s Form I-9 employment eligibility verifications are conducted electronically through a direct link to the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration. ScreeningOne has become one of only a select few companies that are a Designated Agent of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Social Security Administration (SSA) for Form I-9 employment verifications. Using information on newly hired employees’ I-9 Forms, you will be able to verify the accuracy of Social Security Numbers, Immigration “A” numbers, and I-94 arrival/departure numbers and in real-time obtain employees’ legal right to work status with a DHS-issued verification number.

National Criminal File
The National Criminal File is a comprehensive search of multiple criminal record sources, including federal fugitive files, state and county criminal record repositories, prison parole and release files, sex offender data and records from other state agencies. This exclusive criminal search includes access to more than 200 million criminal conviction records across the United States. Results are typically available in minutes when ordered via our secure Internet website, and all information is FCRA compliant.

Patriot Act—OFAC Search
The OFAC database is maintained by the Department of Treasury and identifies individuals and organizations which have been sanctioned and whose assets are subject to freezing. The purpose of this database is to prevent businesses from providing financial support to terrorist and drug trafficking foreign nationals and organizations.

Sexual Offender Searches
Sexual Offender Searches are currently available in 37 states. Individual State Sexual Offender searches provide information on sexual offenders who are required to register in the state in which they reside. Information returned from these inquires may include: name, aliases, dates of birth, residential addresses, employers, location of conviction, and specific sexual offense.

Statewide Central Repository Criminal Searches
A statewide repository search can be an effective means of gathering criminal information because it provides the benefit of searching all counties within a given state, compared to specific, intrastate county searches.

Workers’ Compensation Search
The Workers’ Compensation search is conducted to obtain information about workers’ compensation claims and reports of previous on-the-job injuries. This information allows the employer to conduct post-job offer reviews in compliance with state and federal laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Federal and state laws strictly regulate the use of these records. The employer should have policies and procedures in place before requesting or utilizing these records, in order to ensure strict compliance with both state and federal laws. Our compliance department is always available to respond to your questions.
