I have a friend who recently got fired from a new job because his trainer failed him on the trainer's evaluation of the student's driving. This friend of mine has many years of experience driving a big rig without ever wrecking. My friend drove for five years at a mega carrier at his previous trucking job, but when he re-applied to work at his previous job, they wouldn't take him because he got fired for safety reasons at his new job. So I am wondering whether or not he should tell the truth on his application when it asks for his last employer. I suspect any trucking company he applies to work at will check his DAC record.
If you are being trained at a new company and getting paid to drive for the new company in training and you get fired because the trainer fails you on your road test, does that go on your DAC record?
Fired from a new company/fail a road test, does it go on the DAC?

Was he not past the typical probationary hiring period? Surely not passing the driving test of a new hire isn't the same as a company firing someone for bad driving

You should always tell the truth on an application. They will find out then fire you for lying to them.
Most of the megas are big on DAC reporting but most of the smaller, independent companies on Craigslist don't use DAC at all. The only way to know for sure what they put on your, "friend's" DAC is to have him order his DAC report.

Will the fact that this company fired him for failing his "road test" go on his DAC record? -

There is no legal reason for them not to if that's what you are asking.Pamela1990 and Bean Jr. Thank this. -
i can understand not being able to stay awake at night, but he "had 5 years at a mega carrier"?
that means he drove all hours of the day and night. something don't jive here with me.
well, anyway's, the firing will be / should be on the DAC, not necessarily the failed road test.Pamela1990 and TequilaSunrise Thank this.
