No. At present only carriers receive warning letters. FMCSA does not have plans at this time to directly contact drivers with deficient DSMS percentile ranks. DSMS is only used in conjunction with carrier investigations. A driver could receive a Notice of Violation (NOV) or Notice of Claim (NOC) if they are found to have egregious violations during a carrier investigation. If a driver receives a NOV or NOC, FMCSA will contact the driver directly.
