I should have done a little more research earlier. I may have been able to avoid being charged for having my DAC report cleared. The following site is a dispute form that you can use to file on your own. Good luck to anybody encountering the same problem. Truckers need to write their representatives to put a stop to false reports on the DAC.

I hired DACfix on September 1, 2009 to clear what a representative from DACfix called common and minor issues. I was told about a month ago by DACfix that I would be hearing from them on November 18th. I was anxious and placed a call to them just minutes ago and now I am being told it will be a couple of more days until they get the information back on my dispute. I am not angry with DACfix as so much I am angry with the bureaucracy. My previous employer knew exactly that they were damaging my career with erroneous information on my DAC report. I just pray that DACfix comes through with this since they didn’t come through with it on the day they promised about a month ago. I will keep all of you posted so to inform any of you that maybe considering using DACfix for clearing up false or misleading information on your DAC reports.

i am a driver that was laid off from a company. i have been looking for a new job for 2 months now and am having problems because my DAC report is saying that i was fired from several companies that i had quit since i was not getting any miles from them. one company even put on it that i violated company policy and still have no idea what that is supposed to mean. been over 3 years since anything could be labeled as my fault has happened in my career and now am being black listed by most because of erroneous reporting that i can’t afford to get fixed since i am unemployed. yeah, am not happy with this one sided report on my person

Angela, you say you work for a trucking company and they are required to provide information about how to dispute reports. I have been driving for trucking companies since 1990. I have never, ever had a company provide this info. It has been only in the last 4 or 5 years that companies would even let you see the DAC that was provided on you. It used to be a very big secret. Also, some companies will run a DAC on you but they themselves do not submit reports to DAC. There are several trucking companies that I have worked for (sometimes 2 or 3 years) that do not show up on my DAC, and yes they have been within the past 10 years.

my husband is a driver who quit a company. as we were cleaning his truck out the office manager brought him out a piece of paper saying he was being pulled for a random. he told them he had quit and was no longer their employee. they put a refusal on his dac and as a result a man that has never had an accident and never failed a drug test cant drive anymore. how fair is that

Dac is about money.!!!! It is a buisness like most others and when you need to fix information there is, of course a fee. There are at least three errors on my report. But when i
told several employers i was interested in they choose to believe the dac report. They don’t even contact the companies to verify the information. I will not pay to fix a lie. So I bought my own truck and depend on me. Now I could say the companies don’t want to hire me even with 10 years OTR experience, but i am just wasting time. Good luck to all that have problems with this company and i hope you get a resolution. As for me, they won’t get a dime.

I believe that you should get a copy of your report at least once a year (free) and check it for any errors or information that is on the report that is over 3 years old that should have been taken off, I had to do that 2 years ago to get a accident off the record that was over 5 years old and it was not my fault in the first place.

PLEASE DO NOT THINK THAT I AM SIDING WITH THE SPINELESS JAGGOFFS THAT DO THE DAC SUBMISSIONS, BUT IT IS JUST LIKE A CREDIT REPORT. IF YOU GO TO GET A HOME LOAN OR SOME OTHER PURCHASE, YOU SHOULD CHECK TO SEE THAT YOUR AFFAIRS ARE IN ORDER PRIOR TO SIGNING THE CREDIT APPLICATION. I AM NOT CERTAIN OF THIS, BUT JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE BUSINESS AND WORK WORLD THERE SHOULD BE AN AUDITING PROCESS TO SCREEN FOR INACCURATE INFORMATION ON THESE REPORTS. WITH THE DRIVERS LIVELIHOOD AND THE SURVIVAL OF THERE FAMILY AT STAKE, YOU WOULD THINK THAT THE GOVERNMENT WOULD STEP IN AN ENSURE THAT THEY ARE BEING REPORTED ACCURATELY.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE OUT THERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE DAC BEING FULL OF “ERRONEOUS” INFORMATION, THEY ARE PROBABLY GUILTY OF WHATEVER IS ON THEIR REPORTS IN MOST INSTANCES.

I worked for a company for over three years. In May of 08 I was in a blow over accident in Wyoming , on a forced dispatch, an empty trailer and I-80 shut down West bound because of the high winds. In this accident my elbow was shattered and my shoulder broken , thank god for seat belts. The officer on the scene said they usually find the driver under the truck . any how long story short, after being pretty much done everything they could to get me to quit I wouldn’t. I made a mistake in January , forgot to pretrip and had oil on my engine. I was let go, on my DAC report the company listed my blow over as an intersection collision on two seperate days same location, pretty amazing considering the truck was messed up and I was sitting in a drs office the 2nd day, I wasn’t ticketed , I have the police reports , the companies insurance reports and pictures. After reading everyones comments on here I’m finally contacting a lawyer, you figure since January this company has cost me over 30,000.00. I’m loosing everything and can’t get a driving job . While the prick who lied on my DAC report goes home at night living comfortably . My advice contact the attorney General in the city the company you worked for, that has reported false information on you, they have to correct any false information with in 30 days . Good liuck .

They ought to call Dac BLACKBALL.COM. like yall said they can put anything on there they want and then not even tell ya they did.. but of coarse everything in trucking is all one sided, there is nobody out there that will side with driver.. I quit Rwh and they put on my DAc that i refused drug test. Been driving truck for 14 years , no wrecks, no tickets, no Dui’s, No convictions or nothing and I can’t get a job nowhere
