| Feds report CDL database problems Feds report CDL database problems Quote:
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has said it will correct CDL database shortcomings, including not posting driving convictions in the time required and inadequately protecting driver data.
The agency’s oversight office, the Office of Inspector General, issued audit recommendations for the Commercial Driver’s License Information System July 30. It agreed with recommendations that it improve the database so unqualified drivers will be less able to obtain CDLs or renewals and drivers’ information will be better protected against hackers.
The FMCSA oversees CDLIS, which is administered by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. The system does not contain driver histories, but directs inquiries to the state of record. Completeness of driver conviction data depends on the courts providing DMVs and department officials updating driver histories promptly.
