FMCSA PSP Report
An FMCSA PSP report must contain the most recent 3 years of roadside inspection data and 5 years of crash data for a driver.
Compared to a dot employment verification that states who individual drivers have worked for, a PSP record gives direct information about safety practice and incidences of drivers.
A safety performance history will display which motor carrier the driver was employed by at the time of any collisions or roadside inspections. Moreover, the PSP data provides information about the time and place of these incidents. FMCSA PSP reports also contain additional data such as if there were any tow-aways, injuries, and fatalities, as well as any vehicles taken out of service due to an inspection.
FMCSA PSP records can be updated to reflect that a collision was not preventable or that the individual had been found guilty of other related offenses.
