DRIVER MVR
REVIEW
1. As a condition of employment, a
Driver Motor Vehcile Record (MVR) is obtained and reviewed by
our Insurance Provider.
2. An MVR review will be conducted periodically on all drivers who operate vehicles on company business. An MVR review will be conducted at least every 24 months. 3. A number of factors should be considered in evaluating MVR's. Frequency is of more concern than severity. A person who drives for several years without an accident or conviction before his or her first serious conviction may be preferable to someone with the same driving history but who, during the last three years, has had one minor accident plus for speeding convictions. Also, recent history is more important
than past history. The driver/salesman who had two or three
convictions three years ago but has had no recent incident is
generally a beter risk than the driver/salesman who has had
convictions within the last twelve months.
Violations vary significantly and there
are three types:
Statutory violations reflect qustionable judgement and are generally licensing or registration offenses: 1. Operating an unregistered vehicle. 2. Using a false registration or license, and 3. Driving while license has been suspended. Major violations are serious
convictions which indicate a disregard for public safety:
1. Repeated speeding and/or traffic control violations. 2. Driving while intoxicated. 3. Reckless driving resulting in bodily inury or property damage. 4. Hit-and-run. 5. Negligent homicide. Capital violations show a complete lack
of moral judgement and are felonies:
1. Murder or assault with a motor vehicle. 2. Theft of a motor vehicle and related offenses. Based upon the MVR review the following
guidelines should be used: 1. Not hiring any applicant for a driving position whose record shows a capital or major violation within the last 3 years. 2. Relieving or placing on probation any in-service driver/salesman whose record shows a capital or major violation of five or more incidents within the last 3 years. 3. Improving or increasing the driver/salesman's driving training for anyone involved in more than one incident a year. |
