    Does Swift still report to the DAC? I got a preventable accident which wasn't preventable nor is swift telling the truth (I have proof in the form of pictures and recorded phone calls with OnRoad). They said I had to be wenched out a ditch which isn't true and that I shouldn't have been driving when there was black ice on the road as if I could see the black ice. They also said I should have pulled over safely prior to getting stuck on black ice yet there's nowhere to safely park where I was and I know because I've lived in that area for the last 6 years. I'll be quitting over this so I know if I do and they report stuff to DAC then they will actually report it despite me having pictures, a call log, 2 police officers, as well as OnRoad on my side.

    I wouldn't worry about dac.

    90% of trucking companies don't even use it.

    Sliding on black ice is preventable. You fighting that will win you no favors with any company you apply for. It tells them you didn't learn and puts them at risk when you do it again.

    Also, was a tow truck called?

    Just stating a fact. You posted that 90 % of companies don't use it. Why are you being a dick?

    How is it preventable? Black ice is called black ice because it's not seen by people driving. Yes a tow truck was called but was cancelled about a half hour later when a plow came by and sprayed deicer under my drives.
