Hiring a commercial driver isn’t just about filling a seat — it’s about protecting your business from risk, liability, and costly mistakes.

In this class, we walk through the entire process of hiring safe and qualified CMV drivers, from application to onboarding. You’ll learn exactly what the DOT requires, what insurance companies expect, and what smart carriers do to protect themselves from one bad hire.

We’ll cover:

• How to verify CDL credentials, past employment, and medical qualifications
• When and how to run FMCSA Clearinghouse queries
• The role of PSP reports and MVRs in spotting red flags
• Required drug testing procedures
• How to ask safety-focused interview questions
• The importance of documentation and consistency

This class is perfect for recruiters, safety managers, and anyone involved in hiring or vetting commercial drivers. Whether you’re new to the process or tightening up your current system, this class will help ensure every driver you hire is road-ready and legally compliant.

Because in trucking, one bad hire can be a COSTLY mistake!
