Foley, a provider of compliance, financial, and insurance services for the transportation industry, has launched a new driver-file web tool to automate hiring and compliance processes for fleets.

"This new portal will help fleets hire faster and stay compliant by automatically managing many of the paper processes they're responsible for today, including their driver qualification files," said Foley CEO Joel Sitak.

The portal includes an electronic DOT-compliant application, which has many uses, including:

• Functioning as an employment application for job candidates

• Automatically initiating the required driver file creation process upon hire by providing Foley with all of the information needed to perform FCRA and FMCSA-compliant background checks, as well as create all other required documents.

Foley takes over the file management process after the file is completed by tracking document expiration dates, running annual motor vehicle reports for each driver, and providing notifications when any client action is required.

These alerts are delivered by email and are also available on the portal dashboard, giving fleet managers an instant overview of each driver's compliance status.

"This driver file portal is part of a larger background screening and compliance web tool that helps fleets manage all aspects of their hiring and regulatory requirements," Sitak said.

This includes comprehensive drug and alcohol testing, MVR monitoring, and a full suite of pre-employment screening programs.
