RT&T threatens to blacklist you on DAC

Yep, and it ain't no different on this side of the border, either. The worst outfits I have worked for have been small "family run" type companies. Crap pay, piss-poor runs, and horrible (or non-existent) equipment maintainence. If I have to go back to driving, I'll go to a mega-carrier, thanks. I'll get screwed, but at least I'll have plenty of company!

 

If They report data they are subject to the fcra ,
You can hold them to task for this , dac is merely reporting what they are told .. and as they are subject to fcra so is anyone one whom reports data to them .
Its called libel own them for reporting misleading and absolute false information .

 

Exactly. I don't know why people think small companies are the answer to all the problems. I've been burned the worst by "mom and pop" companies.

 

Fair Credit Reporting Act

 

Firstly-DAC is now "HireRight". They had to change thier name due to so much negative publicity. Also, they are a privately held company-which means they have absolutely no government affiliation, and they are owned by private people making money off drivers information-some true some not. They only report what they receive from companies and don't bother to ask any questions-they simply take and receive driver info to sell it to companies. Point is-they are nobody and not to be feared.

Next, information that is false (or incomplete-such as "you had an accident but was not your fault") can be removed by you requesting it, or by hiring a lawyer or utilizing many of the agencies who will do it for you (many listed in "The Trucker' magazine and trucker books you get at truckstops.) So, tell your company to go to h***.

 

I once worked at a company where the dispatcher threatened to place bad reports on DAC about drivers that made her angry. We (drivers) all knew that the company was'nt even a subscriber to the service!
