Our drivers are required to receive a V-endorsement from the DMV. The process for endorsement includes finger-prints, a background check, a Department of Transportation physical, drug-test, and training courses. It is heavily recommended to begin the endorsement process with the DOT physical to avoid paying fees for other services in the circumstance a doctor does not approve the applicant. The background check and drug-test are covered by our company, but finger-prints, DOT physical (often covered by insurance), and the endorsement are paid for by the applicant.
