DRIVER PRE-QUALIFICATION CERTIFICATION

I. DRIVER PRE-QUALIFICATION CERTIFICATION I hereby certify that all of the facts and information listed on this application are true and complete. I understand that any false, incomplete or misleading information given by me on this application is sufficient cause for rejection of this application. I also understand and agree that any such false, incomplete, or misleading information discovered on this application at any time after I am employed or become an independent contractor for leased to Fidelis may result in termination of my lease. I hereby authorize the Company to investigate all statements contained in this application and to interview the references and previous employers/lessees listed in this application, and to obtain a report from a consumer-reporting agency to be used for screening purposes in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I authorize the references and previous employers/lessees listed to give the Company all facts, opinions and evaluations concerning my previous work and any other information they may have, personal or otherwise, and to release all such parties from any liability which may allegedly arise from furnishing such information to the Company, including, but not limited to, any liability for defamation or invasion of privacy. If I am offered a contract for lease, I understand that such an offer will be conditioned upon satisfactory results of a background investigation and/or Company medical examination or inquiry, including a drug screen test. I further understand that my contract lease can be terminated as detailed in the owner/operator contract. I understand that no supervisor or other representative of the Company other than the President of the Company has any authority to enter into any agreement for any specified period of time, or to make any agreement contrary to the foregoing. I understand that the President of the Company can enter into an agreement for a specified period of time only where such agreement is in writing. If my application is accepted, I understand that it is my responsibility to keep accurate and complete records of my trips and expenses as detailed in the owner/operator contract. I further understand and voluntarily agree to submit to a urinalysis or other drug screen test and that my failure to take such test(s), or unsatisfactory test results, will disqualify me from consideration for contract/lease or will result in the immediate termination of my contract/lease. I understand that references to “employment” in this agreement shall be understood to also apply to lease applications for “independent contractors” and shall not be construed as defining any prospective independent contractor relationship as being one of employment between Fidelis Freight and the applicant.

(“Prospective Employer”), it may obtain one or more reports regarding your driving and safety inspection history from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). When the application for employment is submitted in person, if the Prospective Employer uses any information it obtains from FMCSA in a decision to not hire you or to make any other adverse employment decision regarding you, the Prospective Employer will provide you with a copy of the report upon which its decision was based and a written summary of your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act before taking any final adverse action. If any final adverse action is taken against you based upon your driving history or safety report, the Prospective Employer will notify you that the action has been taken and that the action was based in part or in whole on this report. When the application for employment is submitted by mail, telephone, computer, or other similar means, if the Prospective Employer uses any information it obtains from FMCSA in a decision to not hire you or to make any other adverse employment decision regarding you, the Prospective Employer must provide you within three business days of taking adverse action oral, written, or electronic notification, that adverse action has been taken based in whole or in part on information obtained from FMCSA; the name, address, and the toll free telephone number of FMCSA; that the FMCSA did not make the decision to take the adverse action and is unable to provide you the specific reasons why the adverse action was taken; and that you may, upon providing proper identification, request a free copy of the report and may dispute with the FMCSA the accuracy or completeness of any information or report. If you request a copy of a driver record from the Prospective Employer who procured the report, then, within 3 business days of receiving your request, together with proper identification, the Prospective Employer must send or provide to you a copy of your report and a summary of your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The Prospective Employer cannot obtain background reports from FMCSA unless you consent in writing. If you agree that the Prospective Employer may obtain such background reports, please read the following and sign below: 2. I authorize Fidelis Freight (“Prospective Employer’’) to access the FMCSA Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) system to seek information regarding my commercial driving safety record and information regarding my safety inspection history. I understand that I am consenting to the release of safety performance information including crash data from the previous five (5) years and inspection history from the previous three (3) years. I understand and acknowledge that this release of information may assist the Prospective Employer to make a determination regarding my suitability as an employee or independent contractor. 3. I further understand that neither the Prospective Employer not the FMCSA contractor supplying the crash and safety information has the capability to correct any safety data that appears to be incorrect. I understand I may challenge the accuracy of the data by submitting a request to https://dataqs.fmcsa.dot.gov. If I am challenging crash or inspection information reported by a State, FMCSA cannot change or correct this data. I understand my request will be forwarded by the DataQs system to the appropriate State for adjudication. 4. Please note: Any crash or inspection in which you were involved will display on your PSP report. Since the PSP report does not report, or assign, or imply fault, it will include all Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) crashes where you were a driver or co-driver and where those crashes were reported to FMCSA, regardless of fault. Similarly, all inspections; with or without violations, appear on the PSP report. State citations associated with FMCSA violations that have been adjudicated by a court of law will also appear, and remain, on a PSP report. I have read the above Notice Regarding Background Reports provided to me by Prospective Employer and I understand that if I sign this consent form, Prospective Employer may obtain a report of my crash and inspection history. I hereby authorize Prospective Employer and its employees, authorized agents, and/or affiliates to obtain the information authorized above.

V. THE FIDELIS FREIGHT: APPLICANT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT A Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act: The Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is designed to promote accuracy, fairness, and privacy of information in the files of every “consumer reporting agency” (CRA). Most CRAs are credit bureaus that gather and sell information about you– such as if you pay your bills on time or have filed bankruptcy– to creditors, employers, landlords, and other businesses. You can find that the complete text of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681-1681u, at the Federal Trade Commission’s web site (http://www.ftc.gov). The FCRA gives you specific rights, as outlined below. You may have additional rights under the state law. You may contact a state or local consumer protection agency or a state attorney to learn these rights. You must be told if information in your file has been used against you. Anyone who uses information from a CRA to take action against you– such as denying an application for credit, insurance or employment– must tell you, and give you the name, address, and phone number of the CRA that provided the consumer report. You can find out what is in your file. At your request, a CRA must give you the information in your file, and a list of everyone who has requested it recently. There is no charge for the report if a person has taken action against you because of information supplied by the CRA if you request the report within 60 days of receiving notice of the action. You also are entitled to one free report every twelve months upon request if you certify that (1) you are unemployed and plan to seek employment within 60 days, (2) you are on welfare, or (3) your report is inaccurate due to fraud. Otherwise, a CRA may charge you up to eight dollars. You can dispute inaccurate information with the CRA. If you tell a CRA that your file contains inaccurate information, the CRA must investigate the items (usually within 30 days) by presenting to its information source all relevant evidence you submit, unless your dispute is frivolous. The source must review your evidence and report its findings to the CRA. The source also must advise national CRA’s– to which it has provided the data–of any error. The CRA must give you a written report of the investigation, and a copy of your report if the investigation results in any change. If the CRA’s investigation does not resolve the dispute, you may add a brief statement to your file. The CRA must normally include a summary of your statement in future reports. If an item is deleted or a dispute statement is filed, you may ask that anyone who has recently received your report be notified of the change. Inaccurate information must be corrected or deleted. A CRA must remove or correct inaccurate or unverified information from its files, usually within 30 days after you dispute it. However, the CRA is not required to remove accurate data from your file unless it is outdated (as described below) or cannot be verified. If your dispute results in any change to your report, the CRA cannot reinsert into your file a disputed item unless the information source verifies its accuracy and completeness. In addition, the CPA must give you a written notice telling you it has reinstated the item. The notice must include the name, address, and phone number of the information source: DISCLOSURE/AUTHORIZATION FORM By this document, Fidelis Freight discloses to you that a consumer report may be obtained for employment purposes as part of the pre-screening background check and at any time during your employment or affiliation.
