How do I move past a dirty DAC report?

I don't believe so, but maybe. I had a Werner driver apply to me some time back and nothing showed on DAC, Werner won't give out the info, had to pay to go through DriverIQ

 

A lot of drivers and carriers use DAC as a catchall term for any type of employment verification.

 

Did you order a copy from both? The only way you will know what is really there.

 

You can refute to both. The only way anything can/will change the reports. You will lose on the low wire though.

 

I know I said I am out of it in post 35. My comment is not really directed to the OP. Just to make something clear. The FMCSA is dead serious about part 391.21 - 391.27. I am hearing some rumblings they might be about to announce some rulemaking tightening up Subparts A, B, C and D! When a FMCSA safety auditor hits a carrier's home office one of the first things they do is hit the records MANDATED by subpart C. I have seen safety critters actually wet themselves when these auditors ID themselves. The states can also do audits. This information can be and in almost every case is subpoenaed by attorneys as part of the pre-trial discovery process. The fines for non-compliance can be large AND if the records are not fixed can lead up to an emergency order shutting a carrier down. Most people that deal with the FMCSA already know that when they come in they have with them a "hit" list of problem drivers identified by the CSA data AND the carriers accident register once they review that. They will hit the HOS records of these drivers. They will go over the driver qualification files of these drivers. If they find a problem with sloppy compliance like I said the fines can be large.

Because it is a business and the TTR owner doesn't want businesses identified I will just say a member here does do contract compliance services. (It is that complex). How does this apply to the OP and some of the advice given? It applies because 391.23 mandates a carrier get their employment history OR a good faith attempt to get it. Hireright and driver IQ are businesses set up to help with 391.23 compliance and the FMCSA allows them to use it. Telling a driver to go to XYZ carrier because they don't use DAC misses the point behind 391.23. That information is required. The method is up to the hiring carrier.

In this case, the OP was fired. Bad situation agreed! The OP still is going to have to list that termination on any application and most likely why! Trying to hide behind going to Macks hauling because he don't use DAC will not work. At some point, Mack's hauling will need that employment history. It doesn't matter if the carrier uses Hireright or aunt Sally's employment services company. That information is mandated to be collected. The OP really only has 2 options. Get out of this industry or keep hitting the streets until he can find a carrier that will take a chance on him. Hopefully, with some footwork, the OP can find a job. I just council honesty and thinking first in the future.
