Old Dominion Question

Does anyone know if Old Dominion runs a DAC report via HireRight on driver applicants?

I have a couple of small boo boo's on my DAC report that are clearing up this year from my rookie year as driver with Werner. One goes off June 2nd and the other goes off December 4th. Been accident free since the last one in Dec of 2014. Clean MVR, no moving violations, no accidents, no tickets, no failed inspections. I have my triples/doubles, Hazmat, Tanker, fresh medical DOT cert.

I'm looking for a new job making some better money and some good benefits. Not much in the way of benefits down at FedEx Ground. I like the, route, work and the people, just looking to take my trucking to the next level.

 

thanks.

 

I think I'll wait till after June 2nd. with only one and it being 2.5+ years old by then, I think my chances would be a lot better as opposed to having 2 show up. It's only 37 more days.

 

you can send me a pm with the info if you'd like. But I'm looking to stay in Linehaul pulling doubles and triples. This is my niche, I found what works for me and I'm getting in where I fit in and staying there.

Not interested in pulling 53' or 48', or driving flatbed.

I will never lie on an application, but if waiting till a preventable is 3 years old so it isn't considered against me improves my chances of getting hired, then that's what I'll do. 36 days won't make or break me. Not like I need to make a job move this week or next week. I have security where I'm at and I'm in good standing there and very highly regarded by my boss, the other drivers and dispatch.

I found out from another driver that they do check the MVR, PSP and DAC.

Pulled a copy of my PSP last night, has an accident with some antelope in Wyoming on there (doesn't specify the deer or fault, but I have dashcam video of it.) and that was non-preventable. Nothing else shows up there so that looks good.

I also requested my DAC via email, and I'm waiting for that to get to my inbox to take a look at it so I can see what I'm dealing with.

Just picked up my MVR today and made sure to get a certified copy. I'm good on that. 3 non-moving violations, no accidents, DUI's, suspsensions or revovcations. So I'm not worried about anything on there.

As I understand it, things on your DAC stay there for 7 years, but MOST companies only use things that are 3 years or newer against you to determine hiring eligibility (I've ascertained this from some of the discussions I've had with recruiters) or if you can show 1 year or more of safe driving from your last preventable they will consider you as well. There are a few select companies that go back 5 years on the DAC report, but they are far and few between. I've yet to hear of anyone that goes back the full 7 years, but I have no doubt that someone out there does.

I've got almost 2 years of experience (about 49 days shy of my 2 year mark) pulling doubles over Vail and Eisenhower on I-70 in Colorado and over Elk Mountain on I-80 in Wyoming. Plus some mixed in team runs to Beaver, Phoenix, and St. Peters, MO when they needed someone to fill in for a few days due to illness or injury.
