J.J. Keller partners with Accurate on driver verification

J.J. Keller & Associates has announced a strategic partnership with Accurate to enhance its driver qualification file management service.

The company says the arrangement will allow it to provide faster, more reliable verification of data when hiring commercial drivers.

“The hiring of drivers is a significant responsibility that requires due diligence to mitigate risk,” said Stephanie Schmidt, J. J. Keller’s vice-president of client service. “An improperly vetted driver could lead to a nuclear verdict if they’re involved in a crash. That’s why we’re thrilled to partner with Accurate. Much like J. J. Keller, they’re an industry leader.”

Accurate provides background checks and has been in business more than 25 years.

“Accurate’s advanced technology and focus on customer experience allow them to operate 24/7/363, which significantly decreases our turnaround time for conducting background checks,” Schmidt saisd. “With thorough and efficient investigations — including criminal background checks, driving history and employee verification — companies can quickly spot quality drivers and reduce the risk of negligent hiring lawsuits.”

J.J. Keller’s DataSense platform now incorporates Accurage’s background checks. It also offers: DOT employment verification; safety performance history records; CDL searches; commercial driving records searches; criminal record searches; and sex offender registry searches.
