For Driver applicants of commercial motor vehicles that require a Commercial Driver’s Li- cense (CDL) the applicant must disclose their controlled substance and alcohol status per the requirements of 49 CFR part 40.25(j).
As a perspective driver employee, you will have the right to review information provided by previous employers. You have the right to have errors in the information corrected by the previous employer(s) and for that previous employer(s) to re-send the corrected infor- mation to the prospective employer; the right to have a rebutal statement atached to the alleged erroneous information, if the previous employer and the driver cannot agree on the accuracy of the information.
Driver employees who have previous Department of Transportation regulated employ- ment history in the preceding three years, and wish to review previous employer provid- ed investigative information, must submit a writen request to the prospective employer, which may be done at any time, including when applying or as late as thirty (30) days af- ter being employed or being notified of denial of employment. The prospective employer must provide this information to the applicant within five (5) business days of receiving the writen request. If the prospective employer has not yet received the requested infor- mation from the previous employer(s), then the five (5) business day deadline will begin when the perspective employer receives the requested safety performance history infor- mation. If the driver has not arranged to pick up or receive the requested records within thirty (30) days of the prospective employer making them available, the prospective motor carrier may consider the driver to have waived their request to review the records.
