Commercial Driver's License Information System (CDLIS)

Road Ready Insights


The Commercial Driver's License Information System (CDLIS) is a nationwide computer system that allows state driver licensing agencies (SDLAs) to share information about commercial drivers.

It helps ensure that each state has access to an individual's complete driving history and licensing information, regardless of where the license was issued.

This centralized system helps prevent duplicate licenses and fraudulent activities, ensuring that every commercial driver has only one record, regardless of the state they hold their license in.

A CDLIS driver record, or CDLIS report, can help employers avoid hiring unqualified drivers.

If you hire for job positions involving the operation of commercial motor vehicles, you have a significant responsibility to prioritize safety and risk mitigation.

The CDLIS contains information on over 11 million commercial drivers, including their driver's license number, name, address, date of birth, and driving record.

You’re able to check the driving history, whether the person has had a license revoked or suspended, and track movements across state lines. With our CDLIS Search, you can mitigate reputational risks and maintain your company's integrity.

The CDLIS is an important tool for protecting the safety of the nation's roadways. By sharing information about commercial drivers, the CDLIS helps states to keep unqualified drivers off the road and to identify drivers who may be a threat to public safety.

Those who hire commercial drivers have a responsibility to ensure the safety of their employees, customers, and the public.

By checking the CDLIS, you can help to protect your business from the risks associated with hiring unqualified drivers. Trust us to drive your hiring process forward with integrity and peace of mind.
