A CDLIS report provides access to the Commercial Driver’s License Information System (CDLIS), a nationwide database managed by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) and monitored by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). State licensing agencies use CDLIS to respond to information requests, update driver records, and transfer license information when drivers move between states. If the report reveals prior licenses, employers can order Motor Vehicle Records (MVRs) from those states.
As of May 2022, FMCSA regulations require motor carriers to examine the past three years of a driver’s licensing history, making CDLIS an essential tool for thorough driver vetting.
A CDLIS report provides important details about commercial driver’s license (CDL) history and ensures compliance with federal regulations. It includes:
Employers, law enforcement, and state licensing agencies rely on CDLIS reports to confirm a driver’s qualifications and compliance with licensing requirements, supporting safety and regulatory standards.
Employers are responsible for obtaining CDLIS reports to ensure driver compliance with FMCSA regulations. This includes confirming that drivers don’t hold more than one CDL at any time and verifying that there are no periods when the driver’s license has been restricted, revoked, or disqualified. Employers must also ensure drivers hold the proper CDL class and endorsements for the vehicle they operate. Running CDLIS checks allows employers to stay compliant, avoid fines, and minimize legal risks by ensuring drivers meet all regulatory requirements.
While there’s no federally mandated requirement for CDLIS re-checks after hiring, routine checks are advisable to minimize licensing risks. Many fleets opt to review CDLIS reports every 3-5 years or during critical employment changes, such as extended leave or re-hiring.
Frequent checks help avoid penalties for drivers operating without valid licenses or in violation of restrictions, one of FMCSA’s top-cited violations with fines averaging $9,000. Regularly reviewing CDLIS reports protects fleets from costly fines and strengthens compliance and fleet safety.
Accessing CDLIS reports requires specific driver consent due to federal privacy laws, as these reports contain sensitive details such as Social Security numbers and licensing records. Employers cannot access CDLIS data directly and typically work with authorized third-party providers to request CDL reports. Partnering with a background screening expert in the transportation industry ensures secure data access, compliance with FMCSA and DOT requirements, and comprehensive license verification, including endorsements and past violations. Reputable providers manage the complexities of CDLIS access, ensuring prompt and accurate CDL data without disrupting fleet operations.
CDLIS reports are updated according to each state’s reporting process, meaning new license information and violations may appear within hours or could take days to register. Solera’s SuperVision streamlines CDLIS reporting, offering real-time motor vehicle reports (MVRs) through one-click access across all states. Integrated with License Monitor, SuperVision continuously updates driver records, ensuring prompt notifications when changes occur. By consolidating state data quickly, SuperVision enables fleets to act on accurate, up-to-date information, reducing compliance risks and administrative work associated with delayed state reports.
CDLIS reporting directly enhances fleet safety by confirming drivers meet legal licensing standards and by preventing dual-CDL scenarios that carry regulatory and liability risks. By verifying current licenses, CDLIS reports reveal potential violations like suspended or revoked licenses, giving employers a proactive strategy to minimize compliance issues. This continuous screening process also helps avoid legal problems since employers can face lawsuits and heavy fines if an unqualified driver causes an accident.
CDLIS reports provide fleets with insight into each driver’s licensing history, including any suspensions, violations, or restrictions. This information helps identify compliance risks when drivers display repeated offenses or high-risk behavior. By monitoring these reports regularly, fleets can address violations early, ensuring that only qualified drivers operate fleet vehicles. CDLIS checks support compliance by identifying gaps in driver history or credentials, highlighting trends in driver behavior, and giving fleet managers a basis for proactive coaching and remediation.
