Orientation is the place where companies find out whether they WANT a driver to drive for them. They can send your butt home with no reprecutions, since you are NOT an employee.
It should also be a place for the driver to decide whether he wants to work for said company.
Any company willing to stoop this low, is not worth working for.
While I am aware of the "Company DAC" on this board.
What I would like to see on this board, is an active list of companies who abuse DAC in such a many. Just a list called "Known DAC Abusers". No need for a comment section.
Legalities probably make that a big problem though

Jezz people it's really not that big of a deal. Like i said it hapened to me about six years and two jobs ago.
I have always stateded on an app. that "I went to their orentation and decided the company was not for me". And when it ask's your reason
for leaving? I simply put " there dot rating was to high( the gentelman runing the class told all of the new hires to "Expect to be pulled into every scale you pass". Thats all i put, nothing more. And not once has it been an issue.
I know truck drivers love to complain about every thing under the sun,but you guys realy need to learn to pick your battles!
There are a hundred things that concern me more then my stupid DAC report. Mexcian drivers, The dot's ever growing power, H.O.S laws, Drivers training after only six month's on the road,etc.
I understand the dac is a tool used by a lot of companies to evaluate new hires, but i honestly don't think it plays as big of a role in getting hired as many you think. -
But it is a big deal, in the larger picture.
This company has "attacked" your character and work ethic. With zero consequences.
Would you sit quietly if you went to buy a car, then decided NOT to make the purchase, and the dealer entered a "bad" report on your credit? Comparing apples to apples, you failed to complete the purchase....Didn't make your payment ???? WTH ?
I work hard, I play by their silly ### rules. And because of my military background.... I expect them to play by the same rules/ethics/morals.
Any company that does not, is a P.O.S., and should be red flagged. Especially, when they have the potential to destroy a persons livelihood.
I realize that many of the things placed on a DAC will be overlooked. That's not the point. Too many companies are willing to violate the "code of ethics". Making the DAC itself, truly worthless. -
THAT needs to be changed. -
it is a scam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
