    As suspected, there is nothing on there. I have a spotless record, just personal trouble in other areas and lack of experience. No tickets, no accidents, nothing.

    So let me ask, when submitting an application and resume to a company, should I also submit a copy of my DAC report?

    you do not have to. however, you can say, "i can provide a COPY of my DAC if you would like, upon request"..

    most employers will order one up anyways. to have one readily available may be a good idea, but DO NOT just arbitrarily had one over.

    and good for you having nothing show up.........but what was/were your original concerns.......??
     
    kdryan and Everett Thank this.

    It won't be necessary. One of the first things the prospective company you are applying to will do is pull your Hire Right report, formerly known as DAC. Having a copy in your possession is good so you know what they are looking at. You are entitled to one free report per year and is a good idea to get it to be able to check for inaccuracies, just like your credit report. I just got mine last week and everything is fine.

    Find another small local outfit.......................

    that doesn't use the almighty DAC.

    Perhaps going back to school won't be necessary !!!

    And your copy of your DAC can be filed away....................

    I'm not sure about the when hired thing. There was a guy who started school in my class. We were there a week. Awesome dude. Huge cheerleader and a super positive attitude. He tested positive and it went on his permanent record even though he never received a CDL.

    the schools have to follow the DOT regs regarding drug/alcohol testing.

    once tested positive, the schools (like an employer) report the positive results to DAC.

    Anybody know what year companies started using DAC ? Or when DAC came into existence might be a better question ?
    TIA
