UPS has been cracking down on drivers for failing to include accidents and violations on their MVDC forms. The company has gone so far as to terminate drivers for ‘dishonesty.’

Local 804 is taking on these terminations, but it’s better to avoid a termination than to fight one.

If you’re not sure if you have a ticket or a problem on your license, tell management that you need to check your record before you fill out your MVDC.  

You can get a copy of your Driver Record Abstract online at the NYS Dept. of Motor Vehicles website.  All you need to do is register online and pay a $7 fee and you can view and print a copy of your record.  Click here to go the DMV website and get your abstract.

If you’re not 100% sure about your record, tell your manager that you need to check your abstract before you fill out your MVDC.  Then fill out the MVDC honestly.

If you may have made a mistake on your MVDC, the time to correct it is now, not after the company discovers the mistake and turns it into a dishonesty issue.

Get a copy of your Driver Record Abstract, tell management that you made a mistake on your original form, and fill out a corrected form.
