Truck Driver CSA Points Driving Record

DataQ - Where Your CSA Points Driving Record is Available

What is DataQ?

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA) DataQs is an online system for motor carriers, commercial drivers, Federal and State agencies, and the public to submit their concerns about publically available Federal and State data contained in FMCSA data systems, or to submit requests for copies of inspection reports. DataQs automatically forwards requests to the appropriate office for resolution and then tracks the status of each request.

How can commercial drivers obtain their driving history?

• Drivers may obtain their commercial driving history in one of two ways:

  1. Visit the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA) Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) Website to request a copy of your PSP report for a small fee. You will be able to access the downloadable report instantly, and it includes your driver information such as your FMCSA reportable crash and inspection history (http://www.psp.fmcsa.dot.gov/Pages/default.aspx).

  1. Visit the Freedom of Information Act Website to request a copy of your commercial driving history for free. The information will be mailed to you and includes your FMCSA reportable crash and inspection history (http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/foia/index.htm)

  
  

Commercial drivers to have paper copies of their medical examiner’s certifications with them.

Action:

Final rule.

Summary:

The FMCSA amends its regulations to keep in effect until January 30, 2015, the requirement that interstate drivers subject to: (1) either the commercial driver’s license (CDL) or the commercial learner’s permit (CLP) regulations: as well as (2) the Federal physical qualification requirements under 49 CFR part 391, must retain paper copies of their medical examiner’s certificate when operating a commercial motor vehicle. Interstate motor carriers are also required to retain copies of their drivers’ medical certificates in their driver qualification files. This action is being taken to ensure that the medical qualification of CDL and CLP holders are documented adequately until all State driver licensing agencies (SDLAs) are able to post: (1) the drivers’ self-certification whether the physical qualifications standards are applicable to them; and (2) the medical examiner’s certificate information, on the Commercial Driver’s License Information System (CDLIS) driver record. This rule does not, however, extend the compliance dates for the SDLA to collect and to post to the CDLIS driver record the CDL holder’s self-certification about applicable standards and the medical examiner’s certificate.
