millis transfer/dream crushers

I had a bad DAC experience, bout 10 years ago I applied for a company, got a job offer , but I didn't accept it as I received a better job offer, few years later I find out the company I never worked for put on DAC that I quit without notice and was not eligible for re-hire. I disputed with DAC and on the phone they told me there was nothing they could do unless the company didn't respond to my dispute.

Well the company in fact did not respond to the dispute and it was removed. Still was a major pain in the backside took a lot of my time and heartache.

Good news is DAC / hire right is bankrupt. So their getting some of their Karma back to them.

I'm not sure exactly what ( flat spotting of a tire ) means.

Can anyone explain that to me?

Good luck at southern AG though.

Flatspotting means you drag a brake, which drags the tire and leaves a flat spot. Only takes 5 or 10 feet to really screw one up.

Or those drivers that jacknife so hard doing u turns in a parking lot, that their trailer actually backs up [or wheels even come off the ground for a second] that will do it too. Usually by that point you are bending the sleeper wings and tearing off the airlines.

 

Any information on a dac report can be disputed by the driver
.... Simply put down two words
False information
.... Don't write a big long defensive explanation just make it short and simple.... Just two words
False information
These companies know dac reports are a bunch of lies and they have seen it all before over and over again so just write down on your response these two words and the dac report is trashed
... Do you really think these trucking companies have any credibility?

 

That's great to hear, glad it all worked out.
Airbreeze to be clear I am not a fan of DAC. I am saying that you don't have to work for companies that use their service.
To angle for legislation, on a service which is completely voluntary, is immoral, and dangerous. That is fundamentally no different than telling a business how much they have to sell items for, what they have to pay for goods, or who they have to hire.
Everyone wants to run to the government to solve their problems. Problems, which ussually have a fairly simple solution, which can be achieved without coercion.
If every driver who could afford to refuse work with companies who used DAC, it would make a huge difference.
As for them posting wrong information, that's already a crime. So drivers who may be applying with companies using the service, should check their info. If there is erroneous information, refute it. If hire right refuses to amend their records, then they are in violation.
I think this site is a great way to protect drivers from unscrupulous business practice. However, education of drivers is much better than trying to coalesce into a giant mob in order to demand privelage from the state.

 

Hey Atlas I have nothing personal against you at all. A good debate on any subject is the best way to find a solution to the problem being discussed. As one of the founding fathers of this country Patrick Henry said. " I may not agree with what you say, but I will.defend with my life your right to say it". He's also the man that coined the term, " Give me liberty or give me death". I wish you well in all of your future endeavors. Just remember that freedom is something that must be closely guarded from those who will take it away from you. Those that are willing to give up their freedom for security, will eventually have neither freedom or security, but tyranny and slavery. I don't know if you have ever heard of ERIC HOFFER, but If you want to understand human behavior you should read some of his quotes and books. He hits the nail right on the head.

 

There's an article on this site about Prime, Inc falsifying driver's DAC records and being sued.

Maybe getting some input from other past Millis drivers and contacting a class action lawyer would yield results. Especially if there is precedent in the Prime case.

If you weren't counselled at work in writing about these issues and their potential to have you fired, I think you are right to fight them blindsiding you on an employment record. If they didn't fire you, and it was serious, you should have had a chance to sit with safety and discuss what you'll do differently next time and sign a paper promising to do better. Lacking that, they obviously weren't very concerned with these incidents. Until you quit.

 

To me it seems that if someone puts something anything on your DAC you should be notified in writing. Trying to fight something months or years later is such a pain and the only winners are the lawyers.

Be Safe Out There

It sounds like the op got most of it by not paying attention to what he was doing. So it sounds like landstar refused him based on that. Dac or hire right rather requires proof of the entry on the records before they will allow the entry to be put on the record. So millis has proof from the driver due to phone "recorded records. Plus the photos plus the receipts and tow records for any of the incidents the op was involved in. Not to mention the GPS or Qualcomm data logs. And it does not have to be dot reportable to have incidents,accidents that happen off road put on a dac record. Just proof and admission of the act. In most cases. The up hill part the op,s case. Is proving his not at fault or was wrongfully charge on is dac for things he didn't do.good luck with that!!!

 

If it's not DOT recordable then why does the company put it on the drivers DAC report? How do you know that DAC requires any kind of proof from a company about what information it sends to DAC? Proof of entry on what records? What are you talking about?
If a company continued to employ the driver after the incidents then his work for them must have been satisfactory. It definitely looks like the company is trying to intentionally damage the drivers reputation so he can't find another driving job.

 

Boy be careful some people would kill GOD for saying anything bad about MILLIS i know this first hand
