Full Driver Qualification File
The FMCSA requires all drivers of commercial vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight of 10,001 or more to maintain a driver qualification file (DQF). A DQF is a file with documentation that helps prove that the driver is qualified to drive for your trucking company.
*Service does not cover the Drug and Alcohol Consortium.
Additionally, the service includes Background check, Motor Vehicle Report, CDLIS Report, or PSP Report annually.
All purchases are considered non-refundable, but the fee can be transferred as credit towards an alternative service if a service is not rendered.
