Seeking DAC advise

If you dispute something....everyone involved is given a window all throughout the process to where they are required to respond or forfeit their position.

i.e.- You file a dispute. HireRight notifies you when they inform the company of the dispute. Company has 10 days to respond to the dispute. If company misses the deadline....you automatically win, and the "infraction" is removed from your DAC, and a new copy of your DAC is sent to you reflecting said change.

 

Companies have to provide proof on any disputed remarks by the drivers. I did alll the dac reports. New driver's and drivers that left the company. Its the companys choice what to put on a drivers dac report. DAC is not a requirment. It just helps companies see who there hiring. Id rather have the Psp report instead. Its more reliable . Must be careful though. As I said they must have proof if it is disputed. So if a driver leaves on bad terms such as abandoned load they are diffenantly going to report it.

 

I'm not so sure that is always true.
I fought Western Express (a company I never even worked for), because they said I drove for J-Mar Trucking (a company I never even worked for), and that I was fired (Yah? How? Since I never even worked for either of them).
It was a LONG grueling battle.
I drove for Smithway Motor Express, whom Western Express bought...and the problem was I would put SMX on my applications, and was being turned down for jobs because perspective employers though I was falsifying my application, because DAC said J-Mar Trucking (operating as Western Express). And they also put that I was terminated, and not eligible for re-hire.

The "not eligible for re-hire" did not bother me. But I needed it changed to SMX (because that's who I drove for), and that I ended my employment with them willingly (which I did...that included an 'Exit Interview' by the company).

HireRight and Western Express both agreed early in the battle that it is easy enough to change J-Mar to SMX....so that wasn't a huge issue apparently. But as far as the "Terminated" went...Western simply told HireRight that "That is what SMX told us"---and that was good enough for HireRight; until they realized I wasn't going away.

I fought tooth and nail until Western Express and HireRight got darn sick of me, and I won.

Here is the thread on my battle: http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...on-about-everything/156174-hireright-dac.html

 

I agree with White Dog. I disputed both negative entries on my DAC. Both are now gone. The hardest one to fight was the one out on by a company I never actually worked for. It seems that would be the easiest to take care of but it's not. Fight any and all negative entries.

 

Do you mean "False" entries? Or everything you don't like?
Because if something is true (like a truck abandonment)---might as well not waste your time, because you will fight tooth and nail, and lose every time.
