hello,
I am not a laywer so I dont know the legality of the following suggestion. 
But, most people with a criminal record will probably be detered from 
applying for a job if you make a strong statement that you DO criminal 
background checks and that you WONT hire anyone with a criminal record. 
Combine that statement with making applicants fill out a criminal background 
request form, and you can be reasonably certian that your applicants do not 
have a record. People have know way of knowing if you actually do the check 
or not. (you can "do" the check without "doing" the check) Lets face it, 
being a hired driver is not such a great job that people will go out of 
their way to apply for a job that they know they wont get.

Otherwise, you could concider sub-contracting a driver through your local 
public transportation office. Or, you can try to find a driver from a pool 
of people whom you know have already passed a background check, such as 
government employees.

hope this helps
