What SafeHaul’s Previous‑Employment Verification Does

SafeHaul sends token‑based verification requests to a driver’s former employers. The system limits the number of requests, stores private result files, and issues a signed link that checks company membership before the file is released. All requests and responses are logged in one place, so compliance staff can see what was asked and what was answered.

Who Uses This Capability

Safety teams and compliance staff are the primary users. They initiate the requests and review the returned data to confirm a driver’s employment history before hiring or renewing a license.

What Carriers Should Check or Do

  • Confirm that the request is initiated from SafeHaul and not from an external system.
  • Verify the signed link requires the company to be a member before accessing the result file.
  • Review the built‑in reminder cycle; the system will send a reminder automatically, but no further automated follow‑up is available.
  • Check activity logs to track who initiated the request and when the response was received.
  • Ensure that the returned data is stored in the driver’s record for future reference.

What Is Still Unclear or Yet to Be Decided

Interpretation: Carriers should note that SafeHaul does not provide automated scheduled follow‑up beyond the built‑in reminder cycle. If additional reminders are needed, carriers must set up their own processes. Also, the feature does not automatically verify employment beyond the initial request; carriers must still assess the validity of the information received. Carriers should confirm how this capability applies to their specific compliance requirements.
