    For MVR I think you go to your dmv for a copy.They will charge but not much.

    Have him get his own MVR. He can get his own PSP or you can create an account and get it.(10 bucks) Even though you know him make sure you send past employment requests.
    Don't take him on the truck(even as a rider)until the drug test results are back. Go through the whole checklist of the DQ file.

    My insurance man pulled my mvr for me free of charge.

    Aren't you leased to TMC? I would think that this would be something that they would take care of.

    Run a CREDIT CHECK , no need to find out he has creditors chasing him for $ after he gets hired or has a wage garnishment pending for child support .

    Yes i am. He currently works for TMC as a company driver but will be switching to teaming with me. Drug testing has been done when he joined TMC. I just wanted to make sure he had no major driving ishues id want to know about. Im sure the insurance company for TMC will review these docs when i officially bring him on.

    Many i just wanted to do my due diligence.

    Not sure why that would matter? Im assuming hes not loaning him money or taking payments on anything.
