Can I pull MVRs for multiple states on one driver?

The §391.23(a) regulation is explicit about the multi-state scope. The carrier must obtain the violation record from "the appropriate agency of every State" in which the driver held a motor vehicle operator's license or permit during the preceding 3 years. A single-state pull is sufficient only when the driver self-certifies and the application confirms a single-state license history.

CDLIS solves the discovery problem for CDL drivers. One AAMVA query returns the complete pointer record - every state where the driver has held a CDL since 1996 - which lets the carrier build the §391.23 fan-out list without trial-and-error. For non-CDL drivers, the application form is the discovery instrument; the §391.21(b) employment application asks the driver to list every state of licensure.

Once the state list is built, each state MVR is requested from that state. Timing depends on the state, and the slowest state sets when the full set is in hand. We email each PDF when that state delivers it.

Cost scales with state count - every state in the fan-out has its own record fee. For a CDL driver with a 3-state license history during the prior 3 years, expect three state MVRs. Each Fast Trucking Compliance package covers one issuing-state MVR at one flat price with no per-state surcharge (the DOT Pre-Employment bundle is $175); a record from an additional state is a separate MVR Basic order ($50).
