Driver Qualification File (DQF) Management by TRC Solutions

At TRC Solutions, we offer comprehensive Driver Qualification File (DQF) Management services designed to help motor carriers maintain full compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations under 49 CFR Part 391 . Our service ensures that every required document is accurately collected, reviewed, and maintained, reducing the risk of violations and enhancing operational safety.

What is a Driver Qualification File?

A Driver Qualification File is a mandatory record for each Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) driver employed by a motor carrier. It serves as documented proof that the driver meets the minimum qualifications to operate a CMV safely and legally.

TRC Solutions’ IRP Plating Services Include:

We manage and maintain all required elements of the DQF, including:

  • Required under 49 CFR 391.21
  • Must be completed and signed before a driver operates a CMV
  • Retained for the duration of employment plus three years after termination

  • Assistance with establishing your base jurisdiction
  • Guidance on required documentation (e.g., proof of residency, vehicle title, lease agreements)

This is the third item’s accordion body. It is hidden by default, until the collapse plugin adds the appropriate classes that we use to style each element. These classes control the overall appearance, as well as the showing and hiding via CSS transitions. You can modify any of this with custom CSS or overriding our default variables. It’s also worth noting that just about any HTML can go within the .accordion-body, though the transition does limit overflow.
