KRESS Employment Screening Offering New Commercial Drivers' Packages

Background check provider offers Commercial Drivers' Packages

HOUSTON, Texas—December 23, 2008—KRESS Employment Screening, a licensed investigations company (TX-A06712) that provides employers with background checks, has announced the arrival of a new suite of Commercial Drivers' Packages. KRESS Employment Screening clients will have the opportunity to choose between three packages:

  • Entry Level 2 package, will include a CDLIS search. CDLIS allows employers to comply with FMCSA requirements by searching within the "Commercial Driver's License Information System" for any prior licenses, current CDL and up to three prior licenses held by said individual.

  • Entry Level 3 package, will include a CDLIS search with the addition of a DOT Employment Verification, which incorporates all of DOT required questions for each employer including accident history and drug and alcohol information.

  • Full Criminal with NCSI package, will include both of the above packages with the addition of three more services. CBSV or Consent Based Social Security Number Verification is a service provided by the Social Security Administration (SSA) that will allow employers to verify that the name, social security number and date of birth match SSA records. This search can be run prior to employment.

    SS Trace acts as an identifier and reveals any alias names, as well as past and present addresses associated with the Social Security number. An MVR or Motor Vehicle Report retrieves standard motor vehicle records going back at least three years to identify prior violations, accidents, criminal charges, suspensions, convictions and license revocations. Kress also checks for any restrictions on use and the status of the current license.

Commercial Drivers' Packages is one of a growing list of services built to meet the broad needs of KRESS Employment Screening clients.
