🚛 If you hire commercial drivers, look beyond the application. The Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) gives authorized motor carriers access to prospective commercial driver’s federal crash and roadside inspection history—information that can provide additional context during the hiring process. Use PSP to help make more informed, safety-focused hiring decisions. Learn more about the Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP): psp.fmcsa.dot.gov #FMCSA #PSP #DriverSafety

Truck drivers across the country tell me all of the time that they need more parking for their trucks. About half of them spend more than an hour searching for a spot. THAT ENDS NOW. We're investing $200 MILLION across 12 STATES to expand safe truck parking Under President Trump, we will keep fighting to keep our roads safe and strengthen the backbone of our country 🇺🇸
