As part of a pre-hiring procedure, nearly all large trucking companies will look at a trucker’s employment and driving record to see if there is any history of accidents, traffic violations, or other issues that might disqualify them from the job. All of this information is collected into a database by a company called HireRight, which sells the information on individual drivers as a DAC Report.
DAC reports are regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), which entitles truckers to receive a free copy every year of the information that has been collected on them. HireRight is the company that maintains and distributes DAC records, and drivers can submit a request to receive their free report online here: https://www.hireright.com/Disputes/Report.aspx
If you need assistance, you can also call HireRight’s customer service at 1-800-381-0645
Drivers will be required to provide the following information in order to receive their free DAC report:
Name
Address
Social Security #
Driver’s License #
Phone contact information
Though the request is submitted online, the report is not available digitally, and you will have to wait for the DAC to be delivered by US mail. According to our members, it takes around 10-15 days from the day your request is submitted until the hard copy is delivered.
The data that HireRight collects on drivers is notorious for the wildly inaccurate information stated in some reports. A frequent complaint is that accidents where the truck driver was judged no-fault end up on the report as 50% or 100% at fault for the truck driver. Disgruntled dispatchers have been known to report that the driver abandoned their tractor or returned equipment damaged, even if the tractor was returned to the terminal in its original condition. When you receive your report, check carefully for inaccuracies, and be sure to dispute false information. HireRight has an obligation to remove incorrect data from your report, and you can learn how to dispute it yourself here, or hire a company that specializes in doing the same thing.
