jacked up DAC!!!!

Well it's startn' to look like I may be training to haul oversize/weight into canada and down to houstin'....not sure yet, maybe a clean MVR means more then I thought....It took applying at 2 companies...and making some phone calls to see what others had to say (like the get a letter thing). -We'll see....keep ya updated on what the DAC fix people say about changing 'incident/accident' to 'incident' ....gotta fax info. to them tomorrow. Takes a week to get they say. Let ya'll know if any othr useful info. comes up.

 

I believe it's just like a credit report....you can get 1 free 1 a year. Also like a credit report, if your denied employment, you have the right to a free 1. -I believe they have to abide by the same 'fair credit reporting' laws.

 

Sent ya a message with links....don't think I can post links in the forum part.

 

O.K. ....the latest news, my letter requesting a statement showing what the safety lady had told me (that they show me having incidents and no accidents- and that's what they reported to DAC) was recieved by previous employer. I was called (professionally/politely) by a higher up in safety and informed what had been stated in orientation (we have accidents no incidents) and that 'she must have read the screen wrong.' ....So I guess that's where it stands. He also stated that it was the first company he'd worked for that does that (no incidents only accidents) and that if a perspective employer wanted to call him directly he would go over my record with them (which I really appreciate as the truth looks way better then my DAC and he doesn't have to take the time out to do that).
-So as an unusual company policy this may or may not help any of you....if you work were I used to....no matter what anyone from safety tells you later on....go by the companies original statement in orientation (no incidents- only accidents).
And like the higher up safety guy said, most companies proably won't take the time to call and check into the severity of whats on my DAC. I agreed....
Now if that is how it is, then I have no argument with DAC changing what was reported. It was also how it was stated from the get go in orientation so I hold nothing against the company. (except that this is a bit brutal and cut-throat policy...but warned about from the begining). And the safety lady who 'misread the screen' I'm not sure what to think about, (as I asked her a few times to verify- no accidents). There's the conclusion, hope this helps someone and I'll post more if it occurs or is usefull to anyone.

On with the show....

 

new employer called old employer, then called me....said nothing their worried about, should start next week....guess there's life after DAC
