reporting to hire right

pull out the phone book, go check around the local places that ship stuff out and the local fuel stops.

Go check the local tire shops and ask for the local O/O.

I found a local company and after 17 years didn't have to go through the BS to get back on the road.

I found my job talking to a guy from our HAM radio club. He drives for the same company.

 

Depends on how deep a background the company runs.

If they don't look to hard. He "might" get away with it.

But somehow I doubt it.

 

The new employer still has to get past verification from the"dumptruck"owner. If he's ever in an accident they could drag the old employer into it also.

 

I had the chance to talk to someone who worked for DAC before the transition, she told me that companies have a membership or registration with DAC to report.

I have zero reports on DAC or do they have any personal information about me, I requested a free report from them in December of 2011. If anyone can produce a reference to the fact they drove for a company most requirements are satisfied under the CFR requirements.

 

I drove local for three years before going back to an OTR company that required to years OTR in the last three years. I just listed my company and position as driver. Everything verified no problem. Not with that company anymore, but I don't see why someone else couldn't get away with it.

 

If a carrier just uses a DAC report for employment verification they will be in for a rude awakening if/when audited.

 

True but many use it that way, with the economy shutting down small companies going out of business many drivers have no way of contacting previous employers and hire companies are in desperation anymore.

When the economy tanked desperate times ensued, companies closed up shop and some people have no way to validate employment.
