The are more and more cases being won for false and illegal reporting every year. There was a judgement against Hire Right/ DAC for 2.6 million dollars awarded in 2009 for violation of FCRA LAW. the law violated was in that it was found Hire Right knowingly allowed false information to be reported by a carrier to DAC and knowing it to be false information allowed it to remain on this persons DAC. Another judgment against Prime in 2013. They were found to have violated law in which they report false and damaging information to DAC/ Hire Right about a former driver. They reported he had abandon his vehicle on the side of the road and quit without notice. The FMCSA/ DOT and a Jury found that the employee did not do either and was at home dealing with an emergency medical condition in which he delivered his last dispatched load and reported to all of his internal personal that he was taking his truck home so he could go to the emergency room. I can supply the actual case information. It just seems that people should know they have rights just as the carriers have rights.

I can tell you first hand that you can dispute information reported on your DAC report but be prepared for a long, exhausting process.
About one year later, Hire Right removed the false information reported by SRT because they would not respond to their investigation. Hire Right sent me a letter and an updated report showing it was removed. I was relieved and excited I could finally get back to work but when I contacted the company that hired me (providing I clear the report from my DAC) informed me that SRT just put it back. When I contacted Hire Right and advised them it was back, they told me I would need to file a dispute.
HOW can either SRT &/Or Hire Right be allowed to do this??? So, here I go again but I can certainly tell anyone reading this, yes you can handle it yourself but be prepared for the long haul. There is a big problem with this whole process, when a person has to fight so hard to prove their innocense and protect their rights.

I'm just curious, is there an equivalent to HireRight/DAC in any other industry? For example is there an agency that, say a plumbing company, can report to/consult when firing/hiring a new plumber? I've never heard of anything similar in other trades or vocations. Does the absurdly high turnover in trucking make it the only industry that can support a third-party non-governmental reporting agency like HireRight?

The system is totally broken and unfair. SRT is being malicious. They know how the system works, They put the BS back on there so now you have to spend another year playing games with DAC to get it removed. And the vicious cycle just repeats.

After DAC removed the derogatory information it should not be allow to be put back on.

Thank you. I guess the 2.6 million Hire Right had to pay due to this very problem wasn't enough. Maybe they need to be reminded.

Only things remotely similar are credit companies. Some companies mainly in the Technology industry will run someones credit report.. The biggest issue is that while DAC is primarily only if you have a cdl the carriers can and do report on people who work for them as Non Drivers.. The carriers are the ones paying Hireright for the service so they are the ones who control it.. But to answer your question the credit agencies are the only thing I know of that comes close. Maybe in Union trades there maybe something..

Sue them. SRT for defamation since they reposted info that they had removed on dispute. DAC for knowingly accepting the successfully disputed information the second time.

There is nothing, I repeat, nothing that this DAC "cleanup" company can do that you can't do yourself.

All you need to do is to go online and contact DAC yourself; obtain a report and write a letter, via certified mail to the company with any dispute that you might have.

The company will then investigate, and either confirm or delete the disputed information.
Same as what would happen if you were to pay your hard earned dollars to this crock of a company.

And shame on Truckers Forum for permitting this 'Free Advertising'!

Why is this OK but recruiting on this forum is not?
