How do I move past a dirty DAC report?

I know a safety critter that works in the USA Truck "palace" in Van Buren. I am of the understanding USA truck is getting close to another MAJOR house cleaning much like what happened several years ago when Clif Beckham was run off as President. I have not looked at their CSA data, but I heard it is really bad. So bad in fact they have been warned their PREPASS devices will be turned off. They are getting tighter on this. Less than 6 months with a fired? Right now I imagine they will take a pass.

 

Well I am seeing a trend. That being you keep hitting stuff and it's not your fault.

You are not having trouble finding a job for the wrecks, but for not admitting your mistakes and learning from them.
Your first thought after hitting something should be "How could I have prevented that?".
You seem to have the attitude of "How can I make this not my fault.".

Using weasel statements like "There is no proof." are huge red flags to any hiring manager.

 

In a world where both sides get a chance to show what they have, I agree. However, this is a forum where you are making claims. I can't make any form of an intelligent reply not knowing both sides. I can tell you though I know how most safety critters think and how they operate. Most will give you enough rope to hang yourself. Good luck hand! I'm out!

 

I would do as I have done many times going into places where I could not see. I put my rubber boots on (to stay out of animal doo) got my spotlight and QUICKLY cleared the area. I would leave my truck with the 4 ways on for that at the most 2 minutes. You really need to own this one, learn from it and move on.

Edit: This clearing also applies to make sure you have enough room to back in and not run off the pavement into a ditch etc. It also means a quick look to make sure there is nothing that can damage underneath the truck or damage a tire or wheel.

 

I drove for them about 4 years ago. Never had prepass for the 2 years. They are horrible.

 

Driver..I was going to remain quiet on most of this cause I dont buy some of the excuses. I will leave it at that.

The reason I am commenting is if you get another job dont use the phone didnt work as an excuse. Google the number and call it. Or tell yoir dispatch you are not going in unless you have truck route directions. I did that a time and or two.

With the low hanging wire you may or may not of seen it, there is no way for us to know. If it is a high traffic area the wire would have been high enough.

How fast were you going. If you hit it you should have heard it unless you were flying or had music up or not paying attention. If I am in a new area I am moving slow. That way if I hit a wire I can hear it. Stop and then figure out next move.

The heck with traffic, put on your 4 ways. If they call the cops you are just being safe.

Good luck driver.

 

Find someplace that asks you what a DAC is.

 

I wouldn't be worried about DAC/Hirerite, Werner use's driver IQ. You have to submit to them.
