    • File in the subfolder named Pending.
  • The Shop/Loss Prevention department will send the completed Safety Performance History Records Request form to the previous employers listed on the completed Driver Safety Performance History Request form via email or mail.
  • After the previous employer responds with completed form, the Shop/Loss Prevention department will file the completed form in the BA’s Drivers Compliance Dropbox folder.
