I had a discussion with a friend and couldn't find an answer.
If you were a company driver and due to the events of this spring you were put on a temporary furlough for three months would that show up on a DAC report?
Let's say you wanted to move to another job and started driving after the furlough ended, would this three months still count as experience for companies hiring drivers?
On a traditional resume you are still employed and wouldn't be have a gap but we couldn't decide how it works with driving experience.
My friend is close to 2 years of class A but doesn't know if he needs to keep driving for 3 months or not to qualify with carriers that require 2 years

That wont be reported on Dac. He's close enough now on his two years he could go where he wants.
seagreg Thanks this. -
I wouldn't even mention the furlough. You're also not driving when on vacation, but still employed by the company.

The bigger concern was to make sure that what he claimed was what the verification would show.

I would be much more concerned that the data in the hireright database is correct.
That last question about experience is a big-time NOPE! Time furloughed is not going to be counted as experience. That 3 months are accounted for as time furloughed. Nothing more! -
DAC reports are a hireright product

Avoiding having them returns a discrepancy on a background check is the concern.
Unfortunately this requires a potential employee to 'lie' based on what Hireright will return even if it is not equal to the truth.
The 10 year employment verification is a FMCSA requirement and I was not making any complaints about that fact. -

sevenmph Thanks this.

concerning the 'furlough of the OP, he needs to satisfy the motor carrier of the time being in limbo. Some would take a shot at 1.75 yrs. of experience with an explanation
