The benefit

Every check, ordered and filed in one place

Stop logging into separate vendor portals to pull reports. Order MVRs, PSPs, CDLIS, criminal background checks, employment verifications, and more directly from a driver's profile — results return to the same place, time-stamped, audit-ready, and visible to your whole team.

Order from leading providers

Cisive Driver iQ, Asurint, HireRight, and more — order from inside Double Nickel. Already have an account? Keep your pricing. New to background checks? We'll help you get set up.

Results return to the profile

No PDFs to download, no emails to forward. Reports come back attached to the driver's profile, time-stamped, and ready to review.

✓

Audit-ready, automatically

Every report is filed with a timestamp and tied to the driver record. When a DOT audit hits, the paper trail is already there.

Pull a fresh check anytime

Annual MVRs, mid-tenure rechecks, post-incident pulls — order a new check from the same profile in two clicks.

The shift

Fewer days from applied to hired

Background checks run in the background — ordered the moment a driver hits a qualifying status, returned to the profile when complete, flagged when something needs review. The result: drivers move through screening in hours instead of days, recruiters chase fewer reports, and seats get filled faster.

Consent at the source

Every driver application includes the consents your background check providers require. Signatures are time-stamped, stored on the driver's profile, and pulled automatically when you order a background check. No mid-screening pauses to collect a missing form. No audit risk from a misplaced signature page.

Automations

Checks fire on their own

Add background checks orders to your Automations and let the platform handle ordering. Pull an MVR the moment a driver's status changes to qualified. Order a PSP when the full application comes in. Run a fresh MVR every 12 months. Set the rules once — the platform handles the timing, the ordering, and the filing from there.

Checklist items update themselves

As each check returns, the driver's compliance checklist moves to "Pending review" automatically — MVR, PSP, CDLIS, clearinghouse, criminal. Your team sees at a glance which checks are back and ready to review, which are still outstanding, and which drivers are cleared to advance — without manually updating a single record.

Why it works

Screening without the slowdown

Faster time to hire

One-click ordering and status-triggered automations mean checks start the moment a driver qualifies — not whenever a recruiter remembers to log into a vendor portal.

Less manual work

Reports return to the profile automatically. No downloads, no email forwards, no chasing recruiters for a missing PDF before an audit.


Audit ready by default

Every check is timestamped and filed against the driver record. When the DOT shows up, the paper trail is already there.
