jacked up DAC!!!!

Thank you....I'll google Q carriers and see what I can come up with. And in the order for the DAC it says they'll call and go over it with you....so if they think I can fight to have it changed to only include the word "incident" ....which is how the company reported it....they a fight with DAC I will have......
-And I don't blame you for not reporting it. I was and always have been to honest (if there is such a thing).....I refuse any system to cause me to be dishonest.
-That said, I sure as #### don't blame anyone else for lying their ### off in a situation like these.....

 

At this point what it has done is make me go from being "over qualified" to get on with Landstar, ('more than qualifed' as Landstars recruiter said after I told her I was terminated for company safety points but had a clean driving record-"we don't go by what one person says" she said.)
-But they do go by your DAC and I was also told later that "they view incidents as the same as accidents."
-The odd thing is that so does the company I just left (per orientation), but now I'm told that ,"they have my company record reported as only showing incidents- no accidents. And that's what they repport to DAC.'
-My understanding is that if you have a "preventable incident"...the company you work for has to report any "preventables" and they may view it as an incident....BUT when DAC gets the record, because it is listed as "preventable".....DAC changes it to the term, "Non-DOT reportable preventable incident/accident."

I applied at a over size company near here today, talked to them, and they wanted me to apply....saying, "they don't care about incidents, they care about accidents." But (as stated by a previous poster), they are a smaller company.

I called a larger company also and their response was, "If -insert company name here- will send us a letter stating that they view your record as incidents and not accidents."

Conclusion so far;
-If you want to get on to a good larger company, don't have "incidents"
-If you want to get on a average larger company- get a letter saying you only had "incidents."
-Smaller companies may be concerned with your MVR and pay no attn. to your DAC.

-If the DAC fighting agency says, 'Your previous employer says you only have 'incidents' and DAC call them 'accidents,' that's misrepresenation and we should fight it.'.....then that's what I'll do.
-If they say,'Incidents and accidents are the same as far as DAC is conserned.' Then I'll say O.K., and go on looking for a job where someone is more interested in my squeeky ### clean MVR.

-Hope this helps and I'll keep ya updated. My advice is to take bumping a fence as serious as running over a car....doesn't sound right, does it?

Maybe I'll say, "Screw it, I blew my chance, I'm not driving for some #### company- and I'm going to get a local job and bang my wife at night and spend time with my kid."

Anyone got advise for my current situation, including that I have the ability to purchase a truck outright in the scenario?

 

Sorry if that whole thing was confusing....ask any questions and I'll try to explain the crap I've found out differently.
-Remember that any of this is subject to change, as I've found out....and I'll repost any useful info. if I get any.

 

I know brother....I'm thinking about just stayn' home....got a degree in Law Enforcement- maybe I'll go over to "The Dark Side." Or figure something else out.
-You know, anything I damaged would have been replaced on the company dime out of parts and not needed to be reported to insurance, yet, your statement about insurance companies still reigns true....as another poster said he heard the insurance companies were claiming that those on probation were a liability....and there it is. I can run 2yrs. 200,000 miles, and run my ### silly as a stupid rookie, start out in the winter as a rookie, and get in and out of these ###### up shippers and recievers like everyone else....never damage anything that wasn't companies....and I'm a liability more then say a guy that just got out of school with no experience....ain't that nice. (which any rookie has to get his shot....but speaking from a insurance persons view). Ah...so it goes....on with the show.

 

good question....maybe someone will know....

 

I'm thinkin' on doin this, but afraid with a bad economy and no o/o experience.
