Where delivery driver screening stalls

  1. 5:45 AM

    Routes are set. One driver is still pending.

    A pending driver check can hold up a planned start. See which search is outstanding before assigning the first route.

  2. 6:10 AM

    Couriers and drivers got the same checks

    Choose checks by the work: bike and on-foot courier packages do not include an MVR, while road-driving packages do.

  3. 6:30 AM

    Dispatch asks who can start today

    Without one shared status, every start date turns into calls and messages.

One screening workflow for couriers and drivers

PROFID provides consent-based screening for delivery teams, with packages for station staff, couriers, and road-driving roles.

  • MVR checks for delivery drivers

    Use driver license verification and an MVR to review driving records for road-driving roles. The Delivery Driver and Driver + Work History packages include both.

  • Packages by role and location

    Choose separate packages for station staff, bike couriers, car and van drivers, and lead drivers. Match the scope to the role and location.

  • A clear status for dispatch

    Track unfinished registrations, pending searches, and cases that need review before dispatch sets a start date. Candidate reminders are sent automatically.

  • Works with your hiring tools

    Send email invitations or import CSV and Excel lists from the dashboard without development. Use the connected Greenhouse integration or the PROFID API for your hiring workflow.

Examples use fictional people and companies.

Delivery background check turnaround times

97% of automated checks—identity verification, SSN trace, national criminal records, and sex offender searches—finish in under 5 minutes. County searches depend on courts and MVRs depend on state DMVs, so a full driver package can take longer. The dashboard shows each search’s status.

Delivery background check FAQs

Which checks should we run for delivery drivers?

The Delivery Driver package combines identity verification, SSN trace and address history, national, county, state, and federal criminal searches, the sex offender registry, global watchlists, driver license verification, and an MVR. Choose the package scope for the role and location; add employment verification when previous work matters.

Do bike couriers need the same package as van drivers?

PROFID offers separate packages for bike or on-foot couriers and car or van drivers. The Courier package starts at $49.99 without an MVR; Delivery Driver starts at $89.99 with driver license verification and an MVR.

How long does a delivery background check take?

97% of automated checks—identity verification, SSN trace, national criminal records, and sex offender searches—finish in under 5 minutes. County searches depend on courts, driving records on DMVs, and employment verification on previous employers. A full package can therefore take longer than its automated components.

Do checks start when we send the invitation?

Checks start after the candidate completes registration and consent. The dashboard shows unfinished registrations, and automatic reminders help candidates complete them.

Do these packages cover a DOT program?

The listed packages are designed for non-DOT delivery roles. Drug testing, including DOT testing, is available separately; share your program’s scope so the checks and testing can be discussed together.

Can candidates see or dispute their results?

Yes. Candidates can view their results and consent in their account and dispute inaccurate or incomplete information.

How do we switch from our current provider?

PROFID helps you switch by setting up packages, importing candidates and employees, training your team, and assigning a dedicated manager. Your team can start with the dashboard while any requested integration is arranged.

How much does a delivery driver background check cost?

Delivery Driver starts at $89.99 per candidate, and Driver + Work History starts at $111.99. Courier starts at $49.99, while Courier Basic for station and sorting roles starts at $27.99. Court, data, and DMV fees are additional and passed through at cost.

What is the difference between criminal checks and an MVR?

Criminal searches review criminal records, while an MVR reviews driving history from the relevant state motor vehicle agency. A driver package can include both because they provide different information.

What does Driver + Work History add?

Driver + Work History adds employment verification for two employers to the Delivery Driver package. It starts at $111.99 per candidate, plus applicable court, data, and DMV fees.

Can we import a list of new delivery drivers?

Yes. You can import candidates from a CSV or Excel file and send email invitations from the dashboard. Greenhouse is connected, and the PROFID API supports your own hiring workflow.

Is drug testing included in the listed prices?

Drug testing is quoted separately from the delivery screening packages. The price depends on the testing scope, including whether the program calls for DOT testing.
