Insurance rate would be a good reason, wouldn't want them crosschecking.
But I'll bet on of all the things that gal at the front desk has to do today, like her nails for instance, constantly updating somebody's DAC is pretty far down the list. Plenty of time to do it when she has to do all the other things that she has to do when somebody quits.

But, I do know that I wouldn't want to work at any company that can't be bothered to do the due diligence on checking the backgrounds of their drivers, as they probably won't be in business long when that first multi-million lawsuit comes due, which means my paycheck would be at risk. ymmv.runningman0661 Thanks this. -
Scooter, you in paw paw, mi? Thats my stomping ground.
Just made it to VA from IN. Clocked in 570-580 today. This area is gorgeous. Rolling hills was intimidating at first, got easier as they came. -

Employment Background Screening Company to Pay $2.6 Million Penalty for Multiple Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act
Was for listing criminal offenses that were later expunged and not updating their data base in a timely matter. Hey, it's the background check system we got, and if you really want to screw up a data base, multiple people with computers are the way to do it.
Once you've gone and rescued enough abandoned trucks as I have and seen the damage done to brand new equipment, you'd might have a different perspective on the matter. I've kicked the dog bones out the door from the previous occupant, cleaned dog crap off the floors, and seen mattresses that looked like somebody shaved their nads in. Some of those trucks the company literally had to throw away after we got them back, as they stunk so bad drivers refused to get in them, even after being detailed.
Then there's all the wrecked equipment laying about the yard. Trailers run into low bridges, tractors with smashed fairings, bumpers torn off, etc. Just hooked a reefer the other day that somebody high-hooked then tried to cover it up by duct taping it back together, those plastic shrouds are $1,000 a panel to replace btw.
And for real fun, go sit in claims and listen to what they're working on. Last good one I remember was the guy who forgot to set his brakes and wiped out five cars and destroyed the tractor. They were up to 1/2 million in losses and still counting. Or the guy who knocked over a power pole and knocked out power to the whole town. Bet that wasn't cheap
Hell, I sometimes wonder why we're even a training company at all given all the damage I see. If I ran the place I'd want a lien on your house and your first born son before I put you in a 1/4 million dollars worth of equipment with a potential liability of north of God knows what if you hit something.
So in my book, the more knuckleheads that get weeded out, the better. Might stand a chance at getting a raise. -

I'm personally fine with Magnum reporting more serious incidents. Its the reporting of minor incidents, some that literally cost Magnum nothing, which bothers me.mattbh23 Thanks this.
