Open the request and review the context

Open the verification link from the request email. The page shows Driver Employment History Verification, applicant name, masked Social Security number and birth date, reported employment dates, and the verifying company’s name.

Use Applicant Authorization Request to download the applicant’s employer-specific authorization. This downloads a document; it does not submit your verification. Confirm that the applicant and company context are the ones you expect before completing the form.

Open the request and review the context in Truckers Data — desktop view
The employer page provides applicant context before the response questions. Sample data.

Confirm whether the applicant worked for you

Under 1. Employment Confirmation, answer Did the applicant work for your company? Choose Yes or No. Yes reveals the employment-detail sections. No leaves those employment-detail sections hidden; you still complete the certification, name, role, and signature.

A Yes response results in a Verified status after submission. A No response results in Not Verified. The resulting status is about this employer entry, not an automatic decision to hire or reject the applicant.

Selecting Yes for employment reveals dates, equipment, accident, violation, and rehire questions. Sample data.

Add an incident when Accident History is Yes

Use [+] Add Incident for the first incident and [+] Add Another Incident for another. Complete the Date, Location, Number of Injuries, Number of Fatalities, Hazmat Spill, and Preventable fields for each entry. The Description field adds context.

Use the date picker for the incident date. Enter numeric injury and fatality counts, including zero when appropriate. Use the individual row’s available removal control only when that row was added in error; review every retained row before submitting.

Changing the parent accident answer controls whether the incident section is shown. Before submission, make sure the answer and any visible incident details agree.

Certify and submit

Certify and submit in Truckers Data — desktop view
After the response is recorded, the employer sees a confirmation instead of the editable form. Sample data.

What happens after Submit

The response is stored with the employer entry. The app creates a response PDF in the application’s Files tab, sends a completion email to the requesting company’s company email address, sends a thank-you email to the employer address, and creates an in-app completion notification for company administrators.

When a link is opened for an entry that is already completed or has timed out, the page shows the submitted state rather than an editable form. If a submitted answer needs correction, contact the requesting company using its contact details; this page does not provide a public Edit response control.
