    I just received a copy of my DAC from HireRight, since I read that you should make sure it is accurate.
    On all three counts of the requested information, Employment History, Theft database and Drug & Alcohol Info, it returned with no information. They don't have anything on me, not even employment history.

    Is this bad, or is this a case of no news is good news?

    Edit: I don't have a CDL yet, if that makes a difference.

    It means no one has reported anything about you.
    That is a good thing, I would think.

    If you don't gave a CDL yet nothing would be on there anyhow...

    Ah ok. I thought at least my employment history would be available and wanted to make sure that was correct, but wasn't sure if they didn't start tracking until you had a CDL or not.

    As long as you haven't say gone to a company for training or whatever and failed your prehire drug screen or something of that nature, other than that no.

    Employers report to DAC. No one else.

    Once you start working for a motor carrier then you'll have a DAC record.

    Not all carriers use Hireright / DAC though. All the "megas" will, but if you work for a smaller operation, chances are that company doesn't use it.

    Not everyone reports to DAC. Only 2 companies have reported on mine and one of them I only worked for for 4 hours.
