Compliance FAQ
How much does an MVR cost?
The state record fee for a 3-year MVR ranges from about $4 to $30 depending on the state DMV, and screening providers add their own charge on top. Fast Trucking Compliance packages MVR pulls from $50 (MVR Basic: single state, 3-year, one flat price with no per-state surcharge) up to $175 for the DOT Pre-Employment bundle (MVR + CDLIS + PSP + 12 months of Clearinghouse query management in one order).

Why does it matter?
The state DMV fee is the dominant cost driver. The cheapest states (Iowa, Maine, Vermont) charge under $5 for a 3-year MVR; the most expensive (Texas, Pennsylvania, New Jersey) sit in the $15-$25 range. CDL-specific extended-history products run higher.
A single-state MVR for a non-CDL driver in a low-cost state can be ordered for under $10 retail. The same driver in California or Texas typically lands at $20-$30. Multi-state queries multiply the cost - every state where the driver held a license during the prior 3 years gets its own MVR fee.
For the §391.23 pre-employment dossier, plan on the cost of one MVR per state where the driver held a license during the prior 3 years, plus one CDLIS history pull (so the carrier knows which states to query), plus PSP, plus the §382.701(a) Clearinghouse pre-employment query for CDL drivers. The bundled cost depends on how many states are in the fan-out and on each state's record fee.
Some providers offer volume pricing to fleets that run many MVRs a month. Fast Trucking Compliance prices each package as one flat amount per driver: DOT Pre-Employment at $175 covers the most common single-state CDL hire (MVR, CDLIS, PSP and 12 months of Clearinghouse query management).
