DAC Report is clean?

OzzyOKC · Dec 2, 2013

Double checking my DAC report today after talking to a friend, I see the page "Drug/Alcohol Disclosure" and it says "No Drug Information is on file" Does that mean my "refused drug test" from March 2009 is cleared??

For those who post helpful info, thanks.

For those who take this oppertunity to tear me a new one...get in line.

DAC isn't the only one in the game when it comes to collecting, storing, or giving out info...if you did it then it is out there somewhere and it will come back at to haunt you at the wrong time.

I was raised with the idea of "honesty is the best policy", so I'm keeping it honest. I'm looking for a 2nd chance, a chance to redeem myself. Some places will hire me if their insurance will cover me. Some places won't, but I'm not going to lie about this part of my life when asked. Cant haunt me if I dont lie, can only keep punishing me if I'm honest. Thanks for the info

There is NO natioal database of drug testing results,

as of right now anyway.

In the near future, for sure.

Not all companies report to DAC .(Hireright). All info weather good or bad falls off after 7 years. You can request a free copy once a year on their website. Will receive within 3 weeks.

Actually a drug test falls under health care records and the information is protected by HIPPA so a data base can't be created. Drug test are found out when an employee fills out his application he signs a release. Some don't know what they are signing but they sign one. From there the game is on as that form is copied and sent to every previous employer and they return any drug test results as part of the background check required by the FMCSA.

https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/fmcsr/fmcsrruletext.aspx?reg=391.23

391.23 (e) In addition to the investigations required by paragraph (d) of this section, the prospective motor carrier employers must investigate the information listed below in this paragraph from all previous DOT regulated employers that employed the driver within the previous three years from the date of the employment application, in a safety-sensitive function that required alcohol and controlled substance testing specified by 49 CFR part 40.
(1) Whether, within the previous three years, the driver had violated the alcohol and controlled substances prohibitions under subpart B of part 382 of this chapter, or 49 CFR part 40.
(2) Whether the driver failed to undertake or complete a rehabilitation program prescribed by a substance abuse professional (SAP) pursuant to §382.605 of this chapter, or 49 CFR part 40, subpart O. If the previous employer does not know this information (e.g., an employer that terminated an employee who tested positive on a drug test), the prospective motor carrier must obtain documentation of the driver's successful completion of the SAP's referral directly from the driver.
(3) For a driver who had successfully completed a SAP's rehabilitation referral, and remained in the employ of the referring employer, information on whether the driver had the following testing violations subsequent to completion of a § 382.605 or 49 CFR part 40, subpart O referral:
(i) Alcohol tests with a result of 0.04 or higher alcohol concentration;
(ii) Verified positive drug tests;
(iii) Refusals to be tested (including verified adulterated or substituted drug test results).
(f) A prospective motor carrier employer must provide to the previous employer the driver's written consent meeting the requirements of § 40.321(b) for the release of the information in paragraph (e) of this section. If the driver refuses to provide this written consent, the prospective motor carrier employer must not permit the driver to operate a commercial motor vehicle for that motor carrier.

(2) The investigation may consist of personal interviews, telephone interviews, letters, or any other method for investigating that the carrier deems appropriate

§ 40.321 What is the general confidentiality rule for drug and alcohol test information?

Except as otherwise provided in this subpart, as a service agent or employer participating in the DOT drug or alcohol testing process, you are prohibited from releasing individual test results or medical information about an employee to third parties without the employee's specific written consent.

(a) A third party is any person or organization to whom other subparts of this regulation do not explicitly authorize or require the transmission of information in the course of the drug or alcohol testing process.

(b) Specific written consent means a statement signed by the employee that he or she agrees to the release of a particular piece of information to a particular, explicitly identified, person or organization at a particular time. Blanket releases, in which an employee agrees to a release of a category of information (e.g., all test results) or to release information to a category of parties (e.g., other employers who are members of a C/TPA, companies to which the employee may apply for employment), are prohibited under this part.
