MVR for Multi-State CDL Drivers

Per § 391.23(a)(1), a carrier must inquire to every state where the driver was licensed to drive in the past 3 years. The driver's primary CDL state holds the most current record.

Required MVR pulls

  • State of current CDL issuance — annual review per § 391.25
  • Every state where driver was licensed in past 3 years — pre-employment + within DQF

Multi-state scenario

A driver who lived/worked in 3 states in past 3 years:

  • Pull MVR from each state at pre-employment
  • Annual review uses current state of CDL issuance
  • Driver self-certification at the state level resolves which state is "current"

States with continuous MVR monitoring services

  • All US states allow individual MVR pulls
  • Continuous monitoring services (SambaSafety, Foley, Driver iQ) cover all states
  • Pricing varies by state (some states charge $3, others $25)

Driver moving between states

Driver moves from TX to CA:

  1. Driver surrenders TX CDL
  2. Driver applies for CA CDL (typically 30-day transfer)
  3. Carrier should pull both TX and CA MVRs for the transition period
  4. Driver self-certifies in CA
  5. After CA CDL issued, annual review uses CA MVR

What to look for across states

  • Suspensions or revocations in any state
  • Reciprocal-state convictions
  • Habitual offender designations in any state
  • DUI/DWI history (states differ on retention periods)

Compass automation

Compass MVR module:

  • Tracks driver's CDL state(s)
  • Auto-pulls MVR from primary state annually
  • Alerts on state changes (via SambaSafety or carrier upload)
  • Flags multi-state inconsistencies

CFR citations

  • 49 CFR § 391.23(a)(1)
  • 49 CFR § 391.25

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.
