DAC reports explained

Seems like you may have some good info here... But you have poasted thus exact same thing in at least 3 places... That is unnecessary. It could be considered spamming and that usually doesn't go over very well here on TTR. Just an FYI.

DAC is not the end all be all. It is easily weaponized against a driver for good and bad reasons.

There is also Black listing which varies by state. And other databases availible to screen out bad drivers.

 

DAC is no longer DAC. It became USIS which became HireRight. HireRight is a background investigative firm that provides a service to many industries, not just trucking. They fall under the same guidelines as Equifax, Transunion and Exprerian, the 3 major credit reporting agencies. Every company has the right to know who they are hiring and since many cannot or do not have the resources to check every potential employees background, they use an agency that provides that service.

As I have stated in this forum on numerous occasions, HireRight is NOT infallible. Sometimes they make erroneous entries on a persons transcript. That’s partially what one of the class action lawsuits against them was about. (Arbitrarily making entries without verifying the information) HireRight uses disclaimers now to absolve them from blame in the event you find something that shouldn’t be on there. Just like your credit, you have a right to one free transcript from HireRight. That includes the 20/20 criminal background information, and Past employer information. PSP and MVR information must be purchased separately from those respective agencies.

Recently, OOIDA was in the process of a class action lawsuit against the DOT or FMCSR. They cited PSP scores were inflated on drivers records by making entries that had nothing to do with roadside inspections. For example being overweight would wind up counting against you on the PSP. OOIDA argued that only the results of inspections and crash data are allowed on a PSP transcript.
