FMCSA PSP Services

At Progressive, we know how important it is to keep your trucks filled with qualified drivers. Hiring drivers with good safety records will not only save you some headache, but also improve your overall safety rating. To help make sure you are hiring the best drivers, we started offering pre-employment screening services.

What is the FMCSA PSP?

FMCSA PSP is one of the most valuable pre-employment screening services which allows companies to obtain information in regards to a driver’s safety performance. The Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) was implemented by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in early 2010 to provide companies with the insight they need to hire the safest drivers.

What does a PSP report show?

The FMCSA PSP report includes a driver’s personal information: complete name, driver’s license number/state of issue, and date of birth. The report shows a number of important statistics about a drivers regarding roadside inspections and crash involvement including:

The previous three years of roadside inspection data
The most recent five years of crash data

The PSP report breaks down into two categories, Accident and Inspection Activity.

The Accident Activity Report provides statistics for the most recent five years on:

Total number of crashes
Total crashes with fatalities
Total crashes with injuries
Total crashes with towaways
Total crashes with a hazmat release

A summary of each accident is provided containing information from the actual crash report such as: the USDOT number under which the event took place, reporting state, crash report number, location, and date.

The Inspection Activity report of the FMCSA PSP contains similar details to the Crash Report. The Inspection report summarizes the driver, vehicle, and hazmat inspections. Companies are able to see the number of inspections for each category, number of Out-of-Service Inspections, and Out-of-Service Rate for each.

Why should companies use PSP?

Companies all around the United States use pre-employment screening services such as the FMCSA PSP to ensure that they hire only the best of the best. The PSP gives companies the insight they need in order to hire the safest drivers with the least accidents, and drivers who adhere to all federal regulations.

A 2013 study with the FMCSA reported that companies using the PSP experienced:

8% fewer crashes than companies not using PSP
20% less crashes for carriers between 6 and 20 power units
17% fewer service orders related to log book violations
Better CSA scores than companies not using the service

Working with Progressive for over the last 10 years has been great for our business. We are able to call and get a live person who is an expert in the area where we need assistance. That has helped us make good business decisions. The service is prompt and they are usually able to get complicated things handled quickly.

We want to say thank you for all the help you have given us over the last 8 years. You have helped us with our licensing, registration and permitting, which are complicated tasks we don’t have the time to dedicate to. Taking those tasks off our plate has allowed us to focus on growth, which is one of the reasons we have been able to grow from 1 truck to over 50 in less than 8 years.

- Corey W. – North Salt Lake, UT

We had an issue with our US DOT number that we tried to fix ourselves. After weeks of frustration and getting nowhere, we made one call to Progressive Reporting and the problem was solved within 2 hours. Now we have Progressive Reporting’s contact info in all of our trucks.
