How critical is the DAC report to getting a job?

Don't be tricked into revealing more information than is asked for.

 

All I can say based on the other thread and this one, if you have so many incidences and wondering what to list and what will or won’t show up on this or that report you really need to slow down and figure out what you need to change going forward. A new job is meaningless if you don’t correct the issues that are the reason you’re looking for a new job.

 

It really doesn’t matter what your DAC says. It's all about the insurance. Hitting a deer is not the end of the world. Even if the company doesn't run through the process, they can decide to pull your application or not. You're going to kill yourself worrying about this. Apply to the jobs, answer the questions based on how they are asked, and either they'll tell you yes or no. Don't fess up to unnecessary things. I don't believe that there's any such thing as "lying by omission." There is a such thing as being too honest. If they tell you no, that means you have to stay at your current job. Either way, you'll have somewhere to work.

 

So you said 4 non Dot then you said you had non preventable dot accident?? So which is it???

 

Challenge the entry on your DAC. You should also submit a statement to your DAC. If you follow the DAC rules & your statement is of the proper length, then any company requesting your DAC also gets your statement. Both the Challenge and your statement MUST FOLLOW THE DAC REQUIREMENTS or neither will happen. Just Google driver Challenge of Hire Right report and then hire right driver statement. Hireright.com puts the driver/applicant stuff in one section that's not obvious if you just go to the HireRight front page & start guessing. I'D suggest you tone down your worrying about DAC about 40%. Its one thing that is considered before hiring a driver.

 

For drivers worried about DAC/HireRight, they are no more than a private company that sells driver information to make money. HireRight is in no way affiliated with any governmental agency. HireRight is owned by Investment Funds affiliated with General Atlantic and Stone Point Capital.

Furthermore, much of the information on drivers is false and often made-up when companies do not like a driver. For the most part, it is who is telling the truth and who do you want to believe. This company holds too many loose ends/undocumented information that is published/sold.

Example: Werner wholly believes in what past employers post/say about a former driver with no thought/regard of the driver's side of an issue. This is then used to hire/dismiss a driver for employment.

A diver can go to a company and not be paid and then quits. The driver then goes to another company and in two months they go out of business. The driver then goes to a third company and is promised new equipment only to find an out-of -service truck waiting for him/her and is told to drive it for now. Driver refuses and is kicked off the lot.

This driver is deemed/labeled a bad attitude, Job-hopping driver, who did not follow instructions and was a problem for companies. Each company can post 'bad driver' or 'bad attitude' or 'no longer emloyed' There you have it as far as HireRight's legitimate information that is sold to Werner/other trucking companies. Driver had three jobs in four months as reported via HireRight.
