    Without knowing what is "messed up" on your dac it's hard to say. I would suggest one of the big companies ( US Xpress, Swift, Werner) and see if u can get some more experience.

    A messed up DAC is not good. But mainly only the bigger carriers subscribe to a DAC. It's around 33% of trucking companies use it. With that being said, I would try to get on with a smaller company. Try your local newspaper for a small outfit. If your DAC is messed up by a traffic violation, then you will have to disclose that anywhere as it will show up on your state driving record.

    I just read the other posts and about the accidents.

    You ain't cut out for driving. Don't be down on your self, nobody is perfect. There's many jobs anyone can't do. You need to find something you are good at.

    Oh okay, you made it sound like you were running over everything. :) Slide your fifth wheel back further.

    If no vehicles were involved then it's not on your MVR. But companies might call them in the hiring process.

    I would try a small company or even go for a dump truck or roll off garbage truck job. They don't check DAC's.
