MVR Disqualifying Offenses

Per § 391.15, certain offenses disqualify a person from driving a CMV in interstate commerce. These are federal — state DQ rules may be stricter.

Federally disqualifying offenses

  • DUI/DWI: 1-year minimum disqualification (3-year for hazmat)
  • DUI involving fatality: lifetime disqualification (10-year minimum)
  • Felony involving CMV: 1-year minimum
  • Two serious traffic offenses in 3 years: 60-day disqualification
  • Three serious traffic offenses in 3 years: 120-day disqualification
  • Leaving the scene of an accident involving a CMV: 1-year minimum
  • Drug-related offense: 1-year minimum (lifetime if second)

What's a "serious traffic offense"

  • Excessive speeding (15+ mph over)
  • Reckless driving
  • Improper lane change
  • Following too closely
  • Drug-related offense (any)
  • Driving CMV without CDL
  • Driving CMV with suspended/revoked CDL
  • Causing injury or death in a CMV-related incident

Disqualification triggers (cumulative)

  • Two serious in 3 years → 60-day DQ
  • Three serious in 3 years → 120-day DQ
  • This is per the driver — runs across all employers

Reinstatement

  • After DQ period, driver may apply to reinstate CDL
  • Some states require road test or written exam
  • Driver must self-certify the disqualification ended

What carriers must do

  • Check MVR for disqualifying convictions at pre-employment
  • Annual review of MVR for new convictions
  • Investigate driver's prior 3-year history for cumulative offenses
  • Disqualified driver cannot operate CMV during DQ period

Compass tracking

Compass MVR module:

  • Pulls historical convictions from state MVR
  • Flags any disqualifying offense within DQ period
  • Calculates cumulative serious-offense count
  • Alerts on new convictions if continuous monitoring is enabled
  • Generates required reporting documentation

Common pitfall

Driver moves between states; convictions in former state are not automatically transferred. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration maintains the federal record (CDLIS — Commercial Driver License Information System), which is what continuous monitoring services query.

CFR citations

  • 49 CFR § 391.15
  • 49 CFR § 383.51

How Compass surfaces this

This skill is searchable in Compass Ask and runs against the carrier's actual fleet data when invoked from the relevant tracker. Read-only; no actions taken without explicit user approval.
