What is CDLIS Report?
The Commercial Driver’s License Information System (CDLIS) is a database administered by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA).
A federal mandate requires all states to store information in CDLIS about the commercial driver’s licenses they have administered, This nationwide database includes records by every state, and helps keep bad drivers from obtaining multiple driver’s licenses.

The FMCSA PSP Report (Pre-Employment Screening Program) is a screening tool that allows motor carriers to view records from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS).
Each PSP report contains the most recent 5 years of crash data and the most recent 3 years of roadside inspection data on CDL drivers, including serious safety violations, from the FMCSA MCMIS system for an individual driver. Only commercial drivers who have had crashes and/or road side inspections are in the MCMIS system
