What is alcohol verification ?

Thats odd?

 

That just means that you haven't failed a drug or alcohol test.

 

Yeah it is now a bs game to have you, the driver go back and have your former employer tell the potential employer your drug test results.

This is bs because the system is setup not to worry about negative tests.

 

i think all you have to do is sign a "disclosure" to allow the new employer to send out for that information.

i get a NEW DAC every year, no matter what, and on that, it specifically states that someone has to call them to obtain that information....even i have to call, and i asked for EVERYTHING they had on me..!!!!!!

but, i ain't got no worries about it either. so i didn't bother calling.

some former employers (i have 2) simply WILL NOT disclose ANY information about me, other than time of employment!

 

I lived in Daytona Beach. Alcohol Verification was a week long gathering of collenge & high school students near Easter.

 

In a few years this whole thing will be academic. The FMCSA will have their MRO positive database setup. This takes driver honesty, past employer's and DAC out of the picture in regard to ALL testing. Nobody with DOT authority mega, large, midsize or small will be allowed to hire or continue to employ anyone on it. This upcoming database is why I keep telling drivers to be careful in regard to on duty alcohol use and stop smoking bong. Once on this datalist it can be career ending.

 

yes i know, but i gave permission, both in person and a signed letter that i hand delivered.

in fact, it was the standard letter/form one signs at application time. so from the get go, they had my permission, they just never comply.

 

Not 100% accurate, but close. In the case of trucking they release 3 things. Dates of employment reason for leaving (quit or terminated) and rehire status. This is all that is part of the hireright summary. I also am very close friends of people in HR depts. One more point. If asked for and made a condition of job offer and you sign a release they CAN get into deeper detail.
