| Summary of Issue | Motor Vehicle Reports that state a driver (especially new drivers) are getting a valid driver's license status when in fact his privileges are suspended. How can industry compete with the state police or CVSA inspectors for entitlement of the same information. |
| Justification or Need | This is a problem being discussed at our IMTA Safety Management Council meetings, it seems to be a re-occuring problem for a variety of motor carriers. |
| Request for Action | Industry and state police need the same access to histories of driver records for proper maintenance of driver qualification files and proper evaluation for new hires. |
