DATA SOURCE

State DMVs

What It Includes

Motor vehicle records (MVRs) for pre-hire evaluation and ongoing compliance across all 50 U.S. states and 13 Canadian provinces and territories, plus continuous monitoring with automated alerts on new violations, license status changes, and suspensions in the U.S. and license status monitoring across Canada.

Why It Matters for Risk

MVRs provide an accurate way to evaluate an individual or group of drivers. For employers, they can confirm that an employee is legally qualified to drive and provide complete driving history for evaluation, while insurers can use MVRs to price new auto policies. Continuous MVR monitoring closes the gap between periodic MVR checks, giving you year-round visibility so you can intervene early rather than discovering issues months later.

Federal FMCSA

CSA monitoring with automated alerts on roadside inspections, violations, DOT-reportable crashes, and changes to CDL statuses, medical certificates, and endorsements for regulated commercial drivers.

Reveals compliance risk invisible to state MVR records. A commercial driver can have a clean MVR but a history of federal inspections and violations that signal serious safety concerns. Continuous CSA monitoring helps you address compliance issues before they lead to audits, Out-of-Service violations, or costly litigation.

Global Telematics

Telematics monitoring with near-real-time alerts on speeding, high-risk trips, crashes, and other risky driving behavior from a fleet’s existing telematics devices, cameras, and ELDs via more than 100 Telematic Service Provider (TSP) integrations.

Captures leading indicators of risk that have not resulted in a violation yet. Patterns like repeated harsh braking or phone use predict future incidents and give safety managers the opportunity to intervene before those behaviors lead to violations or crashes.

Insurers and brokers gain forward-looking signals that help anticipate losses, engage policyholders earlier, and reduce claims frequency over time.

Local Courts

Court-adjudicated traffic violations, dispositions, and related public records that can supplement or replace state MVR data.

Court-adjudicated records fill jurisdiction gaps in state MVR data. Because every record reflects a confirmed disposition, employers can act on alerts without triggering wrongful termination or EEOC exposure. Confirmed data you can act on is more valuable than faster data you can't.

Crash and Claims History

Crash history, at-fault determinations, claims frequency, and claims severity from an insurer or organization’s records.

Not all crashes result in DMV-reportable events. Minor incidents like parking lot collisions often go unreported on MVRs, creating blind spots in a driver's risk profile. Crash and claims history fills that gap by connecting financial exposure to behavioral risk, giving fleets a more complete picture than MVR data alone and insurers and brokers the loss patterns that drive underwriting and renewal strategy.

Training History

An online training library featuring more than 400 mastery-based courses, with complete records of all courses assigned to each driver and their completion status.

Seeing what training has been assigned tells you intervention has occurred and helps you determine how successful it was. Without this data in the same view as violations and incidents, managers lack the context to know whether a driver has already been coached on the behavior they're seeing. Complete training records also document your intervention efforts, providing proof of due diligence in the event of an audit, claim, or litigation.
