Oklahoma Requires New Parameters for Motor Vehicle Driving Records

Motor Vehicle Driving Records, or MVRs, are a key part of any pre-employment background check.  For trucking and transportation firms the driving records searches are must be conducted on every commercial drive at least once within a twelve month period.    Failure to conduct MVRs on a  regular basis can result in failure to meet compliance with the Department of Transportation or DOT.   This can result in fines and suspension of a business license.

Because the MVR background check is such an important component of the employment screening world and trucking industry, we at Corra Group try to keep you as current as possible on all changes in the industry.   Usually, this means the Department of Motor Vehicles in one state or another has increased prices, as many are wont to do in order to offset budget constraints in a tough economy.

In this case Oklahoma is modifying its parameters.  Please be advised that effective immediately the Date of Birth is now a required parameter for all Oklahoma MVR requests.
