Black balling and DAC

As do the credit reporting companies such as Equifax.

 

What happened in this mess? Said there was going to be a lawsuit in November 2007. I, for one, am very interested in the outcome. Records ordered sealed?

I wondered why every company that I ever contacted in the last 3 years never called me back or answered me once I gave them my social security number. Do some companies have the capability to look up your DAC right there when you call them? One of them changed the hiring requirements from barely putting me in (3 years since last job) to after giving them my social security number, put me out by almost a year. Since it happened in a 4 minute phone call, I knew it was not a mistake. Some information was found that was very damaging in whatever information the woman looked up when I gave her my SSN. That was several months ago.

I also had the exact same thing happen with another company just a week ago. I keep forgetting to take advantage of the "Phone conversation recording laws" of my state which say only one person in the conversation needs to know it's being recorded, and I never do it. I'll try to catch these people in the act of lying and changing their information. I might write an article for a newspaper about my experiences after the lawsuits are over. I might do a video about it, too.

 

Get a copy of your report. Also if you been out 3 years, you'll need refresher training. Feel free to start a nw thread instead of bring back old posts. I see inconsistancy in both threads you brought forward. DAC not only covers drivers, but many different type of employers like banks, casino's and many other trustworthy jobs. Yes, there are many false reports and it's up to the driver to contest it and get false remarks removed.
Companies subscribe online and can pull you up or report on you in seconds.

 

I'd like to know the full story of the failed drug test. I've heard stories of people getting arrested at the testing site and then stating they didn't refuse the test, they were arrested. I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong, just seems really hard to prove anything. Best thing to do in these situations is to remain calm ad call safety right away. They'll want to make sure you are following the correct procedures to cover their butts, and usually that works out well for you also.

This was the only necessary information in your entire response, though you failed to quote your source, so it's still not certain if it is the case. Please quote your source so we can (in fact) depend on this statement as truth. This was basically one of the points I wanted answered.

I am not in kindergarden, nor am I a green rookie, so your responses should refrain from such demeaning tones. Answer people in a way that does not alienate you in a "know-it-all" way because... well... it's just not cool.

 

The idea that companies can trash a driver's reputation at their whim with baseless information is reprehensible. We need to unite on the behalf of drivers everywhere to stop this easy slander by companies, by DAC, by law enforcement and government... This thread needs revived, we need to know what happened in this suit.
AND we need to start another thread, too, for the purpose of attracting those who have been trashed by DAC, uniting to take it to a higher level. Possibly, legal action. OOIDA sued them before, we can (with their help) initiate another suit.

The time has come for drivers to not sit idly by and allow such slander and mistreatment. Don't criticize us for trying to protect drivers, do something about it- GET ON OR GET OFF.

 

Isn't DAC just a reporting agency? If you want to be upset about things be upset with your company or with the actions that lead you to be searching for new employment. Its not like drivers will all of a sudden not be "blackballed" if DAC went away, companies that want to say something bad about a driver (truthful or unfounded) will still do it. I'm all for fighting the power, but I think that DAC is not the culprit, refocus your outrage.

 

DAC should not be done away with. I don't think anyone here said, or implied that, so I don't know where you're getting your opinion from. Your statement makes no sense. DAC needs a refurbishment.

OF COURSE the companies are out of line. Isn't that a "given?" If it becomes extremely difficult to slander a driver, the companies will slow down in doing it or adjust their tactics to whatever avenue is available.

Companies will need their statements to be verified before they can be reported openly on DAC for other employers to see... and employees need to be notified of any DAC report about them IN FULL whether good or bad report. Employees will also have equal opportunity to report their experiences with DAC. DAC, the employees, and the employers will be civilly liable and responsible for their statements. That's the direction we are going. Is my opinion still Asinine, even though you misinterpreted and spoke out of turn??

 

What were you expecting? Hey lady that ain't been on here in two years, answer this guys questions. You know all the answers, then why are you sitting at the house asking us? I can understand why you don't get called. You can start with attitude.
I bet that very same attitude got you bad remarks on your DAC. You want to sue, sue them if you think you are so right. Personally I think DAC is doing us a favor in this case. Nobody wants a hothead smart arse behind the wheel.

 

I didn't know we had turns.....

So leave your company on good terms and your DAC stays clean, leave on bad terms and you'll probably get bad stuff on there. If DAC was as bad as everyone says it is and all these companies are slandering everyone how do all these drivers keep getting hired?
