MANDATORY USE BY ALL ACCOUNT HOLDERS
IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE
REGARDING BACKGROUND REPORTS FROM THE PSP Online Service
In connection with your application for employment with
Gholia Bros. Trucking, LLC (“Prospective Employer”), Prospective Employer, its
employees, agents or contractors may obtain one or more reports regarding your driving, and
safety inspection history from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
When the application for employment is submitted in person, if the Prospective Employer uses any
information it obtains from FMCSA in a decision to not hire you or to make any other adverse
employment decision regarding you, the Prospective Employer will provide you with a copy of the
report upon which its decision was based and a written summary of your rights under the Fair
Credit Reporting Act before taking any final adverse action. If any final adverse action is
taken against you based upon your driving history or safety report, the Prospective Employer
will notify you that the action has been taken and that the action was based in part or in whole
on this report.
When the application for employment is submitted by mail, telephone, computer, or other similar
means, if the Prospective Employer uses any information it obtains from FMCSA in a decision to
not hire you or to make any other adverse employment decision regarding you, the Prospective
Employer must provide you within three business days of taking adverse action oral, written or
electronic notification: that adverse action has been taken based in whole or in part on
information obtained from FMCSA; the name, address, and toll-free telephone number of FMCSA;
that the FMCSA did not make the decision to take the adverse action and is unable to provide you
the specific reasons why the adverse action was taken; and that you may, upon providing proper
identification, request a free copy of the report and may dispute with the FMCSA the accuracy or
completeness of any information or report. If you request a copy of your driver record from the
Prospective Employer who procured the report, then within 3 business days of receiving your
request, together with proper identification, the Prospective Employer must send or provide to
you a copy of your report and a summary of your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Neither the Prospective Employer nor the FMCSA contractor supplying the crash and safety
information has the capability to correct any safety data that appears to be incorrect. You may
challenge the accuracy of the data by submitting a request to https://dataqs.fmcsa.dot.gov. If you
challenge crash or inspection information reported by a State, FMCSA cannot change or correct
this data. Your request will be forwarded by the DataQs system to the appropriate State for
adjudication.
Any crash or inspection in which you were involved will display on your PSP report. Since the
PSP report does not report, or assign, or imply fault, it will include all Commercial Motor
Vehicle (CMV) crashes where you were a driver or co-driver and where those crashes were reported
to FMCSA, regardless of fault. Similarly, all inspections, with or without violations, appear on
the PSP report. State citations associated with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR)
violations that have been adjudicated by a court of law will also appear, and remain, on a PSP
report.
The Prospective Employer cannot obtain background reports from FMCSA without your
authorization.
