CloudTrucks Seeks Exemption to Streamline Driver Hiring Process
Published Date: 7/1/2025
Notice
Summary
CloudTrucks, LLC wants to skip some usual paperwork when hiring truck drivers. Instead of collecting old job details and drug test info the old-fashioned way, they’ll use smart national databases to check drivers faster and safer. This change could speed up hiring without costing extra, but the public gets to weigh in before it’s approved.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Drivers May Skip Old Paperwork
CloudTrucks has applied for an exemption so it would not have to collect a job applicant’s prior employers' names and addresses, dates of employment, reason for leaving, nature of the position, or whether the driver was subject to alcohol and controlled substances testing. If approved, prospective drivers applying to CloudTrucks would not need to provide those items on the application for employment.
CloudTrucks Will Use National Databases
Instead of collecting those employment and testing details, CloudTrucks proposes to verify applicants by cross-referencing national databases including HireRight's Drive-A-Check (DAC) report, FMCSA's Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse (DACH), the Pre-employment Screening Program (PSP), and the Commercial Driver's License Information System (CDLIS). The company says this approach could speed up hiring and perform checks faster and safer without extra cost, and the public may comment before a decision.
