How do I move past a dirty DAC report?

Honestly, that is true. The last 2 people that I know of who lost driving jobs and can't get another are driving forklifts. One at a home improvement business and another at the AAFES warehouse up near Williamsburg. The First one lost his new car, lost his wife and still blames others for his problems.

 

And this is the source of the op's problems. He refuses to take ownership of his 5 wrecks on his record. 4 of the 5 is someone else's fault.... Oh, and 3 of the 5 are "incidents". Just not seeing there is no such thing as an incident. He hit something he should not have. Feel good wording aside, he wrecked 5 times in the last 3 years.
With that record, and the weasel wording he's been using, no wonder he's not getting hired.

 

Grow up. If you can't take some mild ribbing, your cdl career will be shorter than you think.

People are trying to help you here, all I hear out of you is "yes, but".....

I wish you every success.

 

I was thinking some this afternoon about when I was still in my first year in the US Air Force. I'm not going to get into this too deep because it loses a lot in translation. I was directed by the OIC (a Capt) of my section to go with him to the flight line. There I was to make contact with a VCO (Vehicle Control Officer) and take that officer's vehicle because the Colonel deemed him to no longer need it. This Officer was a Full Bird Colonel and here I am just an E2. The Capt, of course, left me. That Colonel ran my butt off the flight line and forced me to walk back to my squadron area. My C.O. started in on me for not getting that vehicle. I protested "sir, that is a Colonel". I will never forget that sly smile that came on his face. (Moose) go get the extra keys out of the backup files and get in my car. My C.O. was not a full Colonel. He did the same thing the Capt did. Dropped me off and left. On the way he told me to not come back without that vehicle. I protested 2 times, "sir that is a full Bird Colonel" both times those pleas fell on deaf ears. The guy simply was not listening to my pleas. I was right, but my C.O. was trying to teach me a very important lesson about the US Military. I had backup keys. I was told I had all day. I went and got a cold pop out of the drink machine found a seat and pondered how I was going to get that vehicle. Finally, I was so hot I was drenched in sweat, I decided the heck with it. I ran quickly to that vehicle unlocked it cranked it up and left. Of course, about 30 minutes later that Colonel was there and wanting my head on a platter. My C.O. called his C.O. the air base group commander, who told him to leave, I was given the rest of that day off and had a few beers. The main point I am trying to get across, I was actually right. They were wrong to force me a lowly E-2 into battle with a bird Colonel, who has claws that are VERY sharp. I bet some are still wondering why they did that? They wanted to teach me how to "THINK" when faced with unexpected problems while doing my job. These lessons served me well over my almost 5 years I was in. STOP blaming others.

 

Its all high risk areas now driver we had a kid in school stab the resource officer in the neck with his dads bbq grill fork.

 

Im sorry, it's preventable. You snapped a cable. Man came running, he knows #### well it's you.

Ive snapped a thousand cables in blacktop, at best it's a 10 minute repair job once you find both ends of it, sometimes its faster to unspool a new one and hang it at 15 feet and move on.

In my old home and lands everything was at around 14 feet. We eventually removed 5 telephone poles that provided cable of the old style to the house. (Which was also poached by several neighbors. So we told the cable company take the whole #### thing off all of our poles and they did.) And that ended the poaching.

I refuse to allow a 50 dollar cable to snap ones economic hiring ability. The work around I do is back to blacktop and farm, where there is no dac in sight ever. Stick around long enough and economic possibilites come up again as it did for me in a big way. Particularly after i researched certain states and what is legal for blacklisting drivers, verbally, in writing or both or not at all. As one example. When I learn whats going on then I can snuff out the previous employers attempts to destroy me economically. Finally they are completely out of the picture so thats ancient history. Its literally irrelevant now.

Ive destroyed tens of thousands in property, or better defined as inventory and no one gives a ####. But scratch and break 20 feet of 1000 dollar curbing because you have told the foreman that the tractor trailer wont fit from that travel lane in a right turn, they never listen and yep it broke. And future employers get me to tell that story in particular detail.

When I run into a future problem like that curb scenario now I simply refuse to drive the rig and load onto that property. They can come get it off the grass by the side of the main road thank you very much. Or have someone else fetch it back at the shipper. The key take away is I know its going to be damage and no I refuse to be the one to confirm what i know to be true.
