Can I Ask Prospective Employees About Driving Records?

If a position requires the employee to drive (other than to and from work), an employer may ask questions regarding the applicant's driving record, valid driver's license, and any driving violations.

If the potential employee will be working as a driver for your company, you'd be putting your company at risk by not checking that person's driving record. That background check could save you thousands of dollars in legal fees down the road. You don't want an unlicensed driver crashing your delivery truck or a known speed demon transporting your clients, do you?
