Driver Qualification

Driver Qualification

Hiring the right drivers and ensuring they also comply with driver qualification regulations is critical for the successful—and safe—operation of any company. Quality hires are the first step. Making sure they're qualified in accordance with Parts 383 and 391 of the FMCSRs is the second. Maintaining driver qualification then follows.

Whether you need to hire someone new, rehire a driver, or maintain the driver qualification file of an experienced, veteran driver, J. J. Keller can help with a wide variety of information, including:

  • Requirements for DQ files
  • Best practices for hiring
  • Dealing with rehires, owner-operators, temp drivers and others
  • Frequently asked questions
  • Pre-employment screening programs

Ensuring compliance with DQ requirements starts with good hiring practices and continues with ongoing maintenance of driver qualification files.
