Oregon law requires the Oregon Department of Transportation to post positive drug test results to the employment driving record of commercial drivers who participate in federally mandated drug testing programs for motor carriers. Federal regulations require motor carriers to order a complete driver history. In Oregon a complete driver history consists of two separate records, a certified court print and a three year employment driving record with positive drug test results.

How do I order the motor-carrier-required complete driver history?

• If you do not have a Record Inquiry Account and are requesting a federally-required complete driver history for someone else, you must use a Request for Information (Form 735-7122) (be sure to request a certified court print and a three year employment driving record with positive drug test results) and an Affidavit to Authorize Release of Employment Driving Record with Drug Test Result Information (Form 735-7195). Include any required proof of qualification for personal information as indicated on the Request for Information Form.  Include a check or money order for $5 payable to Oregon DMV.
• If you have a Record Inquiry Account, a request for both records can be submitted using a Request for Motor Carrier Required Driving Records (Form 735-7291).  Your account will be billed $5.

How do I order a 3-year employment driving record with positive drug test results? Requests for an employment driving record with positive drug test results must be submitted on an Affidavit to Authorize Release of Employment Driving Record with Positive Drug Test Result Information (Form 735-7195).  This form must be completed in full with a signature of the person whose driving record is being requested. A fee of $2 must be included with the request.

What is the Automated Reporting Service (ARS)?
The Automated Reporting Service (ARS) is a service provided to employers with drivers under their employment, such as trucking companies, delivery services, etc.  This service produces and sends the employer a court print driving record when a conviction, accident or suspension is posted to one of their employee's records.  There is no fee to add or delete an individual to the service if the requester uses DMV's online ARS option; there is a $2 fee for each individual DMV adds or deletes manually.  There is a $3 fee for each printed record produced.  ARS is only available to customers who have a valid Record Inquiry Account. For more information send an e-mail to: ARS@odot.state.or.us.

To assist with the reading of driver records, DMV provides a Driving Record Explanation Summary (Form 735-7104), which contains a brief explanation of some common entries found on Oregon driving records, and a Guide to Oregon Driving Records (Form 735-6665), which contains comprehensive instructions for reading Oregon driving records.
