If your commercial driver fleet is growing this year, you must run specific background checks according to federal regulations. 

Are you running all the required driver background screens, including DOT drug testing, to hire drivers compliantly in 2025?  

Our new webinar explains what information you need to uncover about drivers *before* they get behind the wheel (and you face a DOT audit).

What we’ll cover:

- ALL the DOT-required background checks you need to run on driver applicants
- Why compliant pre-employment Clearinghouse queries matter
- What steps are involved in pre-employment DOT drug testing
- How hiring and onboarding software streamlines driver background checks
- How all the above creates a strong safety culture and boosts driver retention

Who should attend: HR managers, safety managers, fleet owners, growing owner-operators, and anyone who is responsible for DOT compliance at your company.
