Important Notice Regarding Background Reports From The PSP Online Service(Required)
In connection with your application for employment with Weaver Bros., Inc., it may obtain one or more reports regarding your driving and safety inspection history from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). If Weaver Bros., Inc. uses any information it obtains from FMCSA in a decision to not hire you or to make any other adverse employment decision regarding you, Weaver Bros., Inc. 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, Weaver Bros., Inc. will notify you that the action has been taken and that the action was based in part or in whole on this report. Weaver Bros., Inc. cannot obtain background reports from FMCSA unless you consent in writing. If you agree that Weaver Bros., Inc. may obtain such background reports, please read the following and sign below:

I authorize Weaver Bros., Inc. to access the FMCSA Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) system to seek information regarding my commercial driving safety record and information regarding my safety inspection history. I understand that I am consenting to the release of safety performance information including crash data from the previous five (5) years and inspection history from the previous three (3) years. I understand and acknowledge that this release of information may assist Weaver Bros., Inc. to make a determination regarding my suitability as an employee.

I further understand that neither Weaver Bros.Inc. nor the FMCSA contractor supplying the crash and safety information has the capability to correct any safety data that appears to be incorrect. I understand I may challenge the accuracy of the data by submitting a request to https://dataqs.fmcsa.dot.gov. If I am challenging crash or inspection information reported by a State, FMCSA cannot change or correct this data. I understand my request will be forwarded by the DataQs system to the appropriate State for adjudication.

Please note: 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 FMCSR violations that have been adjudicated by a court of law will also appear, and remain, on a PSP report.
