    Start seeking out these intersections. I highly doubt that silly camera can differentiate between this and a plain old stop sign. You'll be giving the nanny cam watchers fits. P.S. Pennsylvania is chock full of em.

    with no tickets ,and a good record you will get hired somewhere else, there is a nationwide driver shortage.and its getting worse,companies only let people go for this stuff because they got their nose up the insurance companies donkey, to make them look good, you can get a copy of your dac from dmv yourself or maybe online ,

    all companies use dac , been cdl a since 1990,they started it back then
    you know that stupid paper they have you fill out every year, name , violations,accidents, license no , thats mandated by dot , for your company to run a dac report on you to make sure your being a good boy

    There's no actual driver shortage. There might be a shortage of brainless, willing to work for nothing steering wheel holders, but I sure see a lot of them every day.

    Not all companies use or care about DAC.

    If you been driving that long than you've been hearing that driver shortage crap ever since you started. Wasn't true in the 90s and sure as heck ain't true now. Nearly half a million new CDLs issued every year but the low pay and bad management drive most of them right back out. The megas are still running 90% annual turnover. They could correct that if they want to but crying "driver shortage" and paying poor wages are all part of their business plan.

    And all companies do not use DAC. Dac had absolutely nothing to do with the annual TVIC that drivers fill out showing any traffic convictions. Your company (or their insurance company) check your MVR every year. Not Dac.

    There are no acute driver shortages across the general freight spectrum, that is a bold face myth! There are some shortages in some types of niche driving but those jobs are not as many as most think. Also, there are some of the labor-intense jobs available as well. What most carriers mean by a driver shortage is close to what @kemosabi49 just said. The turnovers are horrible. It takes a lot of people to supply the flow of new hires! THAT'S the shortage. It will continue until the carriers finally decide to stop it.
