    You might have to hire on with a company that doesn't use DAC.. was the crash your fault ? Sounds like he didnt even hit you

    I guess im out of touch with current events and this dac nonsense but the more I hear about it the more it doesn't even seem it should be legal. I know of a few good companies in my area that run tankers and aren't even familiar with it either. When did these employers start putting so much focus on a piece of paper that may or may not contain factual info and have the ability to scar someone's employment history without merit. To me it does not say much for the companies going off them and not sure I would want to work there anyways.
