DAC Dispute Failed - What Are My Options Now?

So I just got an email from HireRight saying that they finished my dispute "investigation" (2 days before the deadline of 30 days)

When I called their service line to inquire as to the actual contents of the "investigation" I was met with the response that my former employer (Werner) has "reaffirmed" their assertions over what I was disputing, and that aside from a rebuttal, there was more or less #### all I can do about it.

I am going to contact their "dispute team" and inquire as to what evidence Werner has provided that corroborates their allegations against me, but beyond that I don't know what else I can do, or if there is a legal recourse that I can take against Werner and/or HireRight for pushing this attempt and virtually blacklisting me in this industry. I myself have already provided several detailed statements with an account of events and photographic evidence with a detailed breakdown of the contents of the photographs.

It floors me that my CDL and my livelihood is being dicked with based on what a couple of "safety department" desk jockeys have for hearsay vs my first hand account of events, you would think that my account might be weighed more heavily than the hearsay, no?

I'm at a loss, what do I do?

 

So sounds to me a legal case can be made that this third party HireRight is taking a bribe to spread a blacklist/ defamation of character.

I'm thinking Class Action Lawsuit time, more maybe just go postal at Werner HQ in Omaha, whatever is more entertaining.

 

No need to be snarky. Look, I'm obviously upset as a new driver to the industry being taken advantage of by the predatory (and probably illegal) practices of these megas.

What can actually be done?

 

The problem is I don't even know who these fabled "smaller outfits" are. Never heard of them, no idea where to even begin looking.
