I told you guys these recruiters look at you as nothing more than lower life forms. Don't you love his line about "liking you little guys." What are you, specimens in a lab he's looking at under a microscope?
I don't think you should ban this cat at all. Everytime he comes here, he puts his foot in his mouth in some new way.
Let him hang himself. He's got the rope, and that would be the BEST advertising.

No, JB Hunt was not the first driving job I have had. I have had two previous stints of employment with other companies. Both those companies rated my "work record" performance "satisfactory". Second, yes, "company policy violation" is the only thing JB Hunt put in the "work record" section of my DAC report (no other explaining terms or notes). Third, I possess my employment file from JB Hunt, I did not sign any legal release allowing JB Hunt or USIS (DAC Services) to procure, accumulate, produce and/or distribute (for profit) my past employment information.
However, USIS (and/or possibly their "evil minions") has (have) been playing "hardball" regarding my DAC report for nearly a year now. I recently ordered a copy of my DAC report (August 2006). Apparently, no company has inquired into my DAC report through USIS in nearly a year. I have applied to well over 50 companies since my dismissal from JB Hunt during late May 2005. My USIS DAC report shows no inquiries into my DAC report and no new entries into my DAC report since September 2005. This fact leads me to believe that USIS (with inept "evil minion" assistance) is either withholding this information from me or are purposely stopping, inhibiting and/or re-directing those companies that have made inquiries into my DAC report.
Recent investigation of USIS's practices and JB Hunt's possible collusion has been undertaken. I believe the priliminary results may indicate corrupt, collusive and felonious practices by certain parties. Got to love those electronic legal discovery gum-shoes...LOL!
Possibly you (jaybird1969) can suggest a transportation company employer where I can apply for driving work and be hired-on.

You are almost certainly correct, sir. -
Your personal site is a perfect example of just how deceptive things are.

Now this is where I would have to say that something doesn't wash...
USIS would have no reason to withhold your report, nor would they. They are paid when the release your report to someone else. That's their business. I find it hard to swallow that anyone with JB Hunt could influence a credit reporting agency, but I guess anything is possible.
C'mon...50 companies, and not one inquiry? You realize just how incredible that sounds, don't you? -
I personally know a guy who fell asleep and rolled his truck. Several companies turned him down for employment but he found one that would hire him. I know another guy that forgot to set the brakes on his truck and it rolled into a ditch he was also able to find another job. So I am not understanding why you can not find a job? Maybe I am not understanding something. I have a superior rating on my dac from Swift and USA. I just can't see why dac is keeping you from finding a job.

Reply to TurboTrucker:
Incredible as it seems, I have applied for work at over 50 companies for work as a professional driver. All these applications have been completed within the last year. According to the DAC report I received from USIS during August 2006, not one of these companies inquired into my DAC report. The last inquiry into my DAC report was during September 2005.
I also log and record each job application that I make (applications were made via the worldwide internet or by telephone). Even though I have signed 40 plus consents to view my DAC report for these potential employers, none has accessed my DAC report, according to the list of inquiries supplied by USIS to me during August 2006.
However, now that I think about it, there was one company that did reply to my job applicaiton, however, they said they could not get me "qualified" to drive for them. When I inquired further as to the reason or reasons why I could not be "qualified" to drive with this company, they said in e-mails that their safety department did not tell them. I then asked to speak with the individual in their safety department who made the decision, the company official then said I would have to inquire by mail as to the reason or reasons why I could not get "qualified". I then sent an e-mail and a "snail-mail" letter to this company requesting that they provide me information regarding their negative hiring decision. I waited many weeks for a reply. None came. I then sent numerous e-mails requesting answers to my questions and still received no reply, except that they were "working on it". Finally, the recruiter replied herself to my request via e-mail and said that they had found other "better qualified" individuals to employ. She never did explain why I could not get "qualified". In fact, this company was (is) so very needing of drivers that they were (are) offering a substantial (high dollar) "sign-on bonus" for drivers that would go to work for them. Funny thing that...this particular company never accessed my DAC report, according to my August 2006 DAC report I received from USIS. Therefore, how did the company know that I was not "qualified" to drive with them if they did not inquire into my DAC report or MVR history?
I agree with you that JB Hunt may not be responsible. In fact, USIS may have made some sort of mistake in my recent DAC report, however, it seems "funny" that no inquiries have been made (considering the fact that companies generally will access a person's DAC report, immediately, even before contacting any of a person's previous employers).
The list of potential employers that I have contacted include all the "majors" and many "minor" companies. I hope to get to the "bottom" of the situation quite soon.

You are correct, I cannot find a driving job, even though I have applied with many, many trucking companies. This has been the case since I was dismissed from JB Hunt during late May 2005. -
Littlebit: I rolled a tanker in my 1st job out of driving school. I had only been driving for about 3 months total and only about a month on my own when it happened. I was fired but got on with another company within 2 months. I don't know if it was because they understood that I was an inexperienced driver and how easy it is to have accidents in tankers or if it was because the accident wasn't on DAC yet and I didn't get ticketed?! This was pre-9/11 by the way.
burrows8365: I empathize with you as I'm sure I'm going to be facing the same things when I go back to school and try to get hired. I have requested a copy of my DAC too because of the rollover and a couple minor Daccidents I had. I want to know what the companies I apply to are going to see. BOL to you. -

Thought you all would be interested in the VP's response to my email when my husband was unfortunately in their lease purchase program.....as you can see it's never JBH's fault but they always try to place the blame on the driver....
Its unfortunate that you didn't make it in our program. But, tell the
18
drivers that completed their leases and bought their truck last month
and
the 150+ drivers scheduled to buy their truck this year that they can't
be
successful.
For those that are willing to work hard, be available and run our
system,
you can make money and be in a position to own your own truck after 3
years. All of the sour grapes in the world can't dispute that fact.
Let me know when you start your website.
