The Truckers' DAC Problems

What Is A Dac Report

Review Your Report
|
Many truckers have contacted me
regarding problems with their DAC employment report
and the un-fairness in this reporting. This
report can gravely affect a driver with his/her
career. They are undoubtedly very secretive in
this practice.
There is NO law stating that IF turned down for a
job they have a right to receive and review this
information as is the case when turned down for
credit (that we are aware of). Often times trucking companies submit
false or deceiving information which the driver has
no idea exists.
It is difficult to receive
this report and trucking companies will NOT give it
and are NOT forced to give this report to a
prospective employee. Contact info for
obtaining your report is listed
below. Trucking companies can
use this report as a tool to "get revenge" on a
driver who has quit them for whatever reason.
We feel this system has to be
more OPEN and trucking companies should be forced by
Congress to supply EVERY potential employee with a
copy of this DAC report or at the very least IF the
driver is turned down for ANY reason.

DAC Report Tips.
The Trucker's Report has
contacted USIS (the agency responsible for this
reporting) and asked for a quote from them directly.
Below is a list of the questions I asked them and I
will report their reply as soon as it is acquired...
Dear Bill, [Winter]
This is Kevin Watts from
www.thetruckersreport.com and would like to
ask you some questions to do a report about
DAC per our telephone conversation a few
minutes ago.
1: Why can't drivers change mistakes
on their DAC report when there are
falsifications alleged by him/her?
REFUSED TO ANSWER
2: Is there a law requiring a
trucking company that uses a DAC report to
disqualify a driver in which he/she is
ENTITLED to a free copy of this report
automatically? Such as is the process when
applying for credit and denied? IF a person
is denied credit they are entitled by law to
receive a copy at NO expense. Is this the
case with DAC reports & if so why aren't the
trucking companies FORCED to make the
drivers aware of how it is to be obtained?
REFUSED TO
ANSWER
3: Why are these reports so secretive
and not more open to the very persons this
information pertains to?
4: Why aren't these reports more
readily accessible via your website?
REFUSED TO
ANSWER
Note: I will quote what you reply on my
website and it WILL be in context so rest
assured you will NOT need to worry about a
misquote. IF you choose not to answer any
question I will report that you were not
willing to answer that particular question.
This process is highly mistrusted by the
drivers and it is thought to be highly
secretive so I would suggest you answer them
to the best of your ability in order to
alleviate this view and obtain better
publicity.
SIR, something has to be done to open
this process up in our opinion and FAST.
UPDATE: NO
reply from USIS as of Dec, 27sth
2:04pm cst.
Well, drivers,
should be NO surprise they answered NO
COMMENT to ALL of
the questions... |
I have also
contacted USIS at the phone number listed
below to test how easy it is to get a copy of my
report. They were very nice and complied
stating I will receive it shortly. I will
post a copy of my own personal report here and
point out the problems on mine and I will go
through the process to change any mistakes listed.
I will post what is done with my request to
change mistakes and it will be open to all.
I will go through this process for you to prove
EXACTLY how it works.
Drivers, to all
of you who complain and yet refuse to put your
money where your mouth is you deserve this
treatment. These people rely on you doing
just what you are doing now... NOTHING. Do
NOT send me complaints about this system unless
you put your money where your mouth is and at
least try to do something about it. If you are
ruined by this system then it's nobody's fault
but yours.
You have kept the smiles on those faces screwing
you by your own indifference.
What Is A DAC Report?
The DAC employment report is a detailed
summary of a trucker's work history in the trucking
industry. Most trucking companies today participate
in sharing this information about truckers.
The DAC employment report
contains items such as number of accidents,
reasons for quitting or why they were fired,
if they are eligible for re-hire, type of
driving, commodities hauled, types of
trailers pulled and MUCH more.
They can also verify social security numbers,
driver's license numbers, criminal reports,
worker's compensation reports, and much more.
