I have read about the false reporting on DAC thought this might help someone

Driver's provide their own evidence to incriminate themselves by providing pictures with the "accident camera" and filling out company accident reports. These are and will be used against you as a a driver. Right or wrong, there really isn't much you can do about it. It's kinda like when a cop pulls you over and asks if you know why, and if you answer honestly, ie "I was speeding", you have just officially put in your guilty plea to an officer of the law.

 

It's not always about accidents and failed drug tests.

ANY negative entries can hinder ones next job opportunity.
In my case; (see if this don't blow your mind) Western Express, said I drove for J Mar, and I got canned, and was not eligible for re-hire.

1). I never drove for Western Express
2). I never drove for J Mar
3). I've never been canned in my life

It took about half a year (following up with someone EVERY WEEK via phone and email) to fight that crap. It's unbelievable how long it takes to prove I was never even part of those companies.

I most likely had an opportunity to sue AND WIN, because I had proof that the false information was why I was turned down for TWO jobs---in fact, that is how I found out the information was on my DAC...a company that turned me down told me that is why they were passing on my application.

Hind site; I should have sued.

 

There is nothing, I repeat, nothing that this DAC "cleanup" company can do that you can't do yourself.

All you need to do is to go online and contact DAC yourself; obtain a report and write a letter, via certified mail to the company with any dispute that you might have.

The company will then investigate, and either confirm or delete the disputed information.
Same as what would happen if you were to pay your hard earned dollars to this crock of a company.

And shame on Truckers Forum for permitting this 'Free Advertising'!

Why is this OK but recruiting on this forum is not?

 

@Surfer Joe there is a LOT more to it than simply sending a "Certified Letter"...obviously you have never dealt with it.
There is a process with time constraints (much like filing a grievance with a Union). You miss a deadline, you lose. If the company misses a deadline, they lose.
Companies ALWAYS have time to stay with the dispute, drivers may not. A service like this may be helpful to someone that wants THEM (the service) to keep up with the process for them.
It takes FOREVER (win or lose) to get through the process if thd company disputes your dispute. Trust me.
This is a VERY helpful thread...aand that is most likely why the Mod's and Admin's don't consider it "advertisement".
Going through what I went through the first time, I would consider this service if I had to do if again...because it IS a pain in the rump.

 

I totally disagree.

And BTW, I HAVE followed the process of which I previously described;
it works. And it's very simple. And it's free.
And incidentally, it's your right.

Sending a certified letter that challenges incorrect information works, because the DAC companies have a certain amount of time to respond, legally. It gets the ball rollin'.

And if any company claims to be able to 'remove' any correctly reported (key word here, 'correctly') derogatory information then the only way for them to do so, as opposed to you doing it yourself, would be to either bribe and/or have access to the computers storing the information and making the information kind of 'go away'.

Again, if, after an investigation, the trucking company confirms that the information is correct, the info. will then continue to be reported.
Period.
And it doesn't matter who (or what) originally initiated the investigation (other than the fact that if you do it yourself, it's free as opposed to hiring someone to do the same thing with the exact, same results).

I will repeat that there is absolutely nothing that anybody or anything can do that you can't do yourself.
