Switching from Covenant to TMC, will Covenant hit my DAC?

I have 2 preventables with Covenant Transport (while on trainers truck)(they put me on probational period)

Got my DAC report back(called) the lady says I have nothing on there and nothing on my MVR either. I’m wanting to switch companies(co driver left, no point for me to be with a teaming company) was gonna go with TMC they have me setup for orientation on the 1/21/19, but my recruiter says I have to resign(potentially rehireable) with Covenant 1st and I am just terrified that Covenant gonna be salty about it and spill all the beans to TMC (but nothing on my DAC and MVR so I am feeling somewhat confident)

But then again everyone is hungry for drivers so I might be lucky.

 

Just tell them your leaving personal or family reasons.

 

Yeah, was gonna say I’m leaving for family reasons and due to this situation it wouldn’t be the best for me to be OTR at the moment. (Add kissing ##* remarks at the end saying that this company is amazing and stuff)(even though it’s not IMO)

 

Big companies don't sit and chat with recruiters from other trucking companies. They refer reference inquiries to a service, either DAC or DriverFacts or something like that. They might not update your DAC until you resign. That's why the TMC recruiter wants you to resign first.

 

Think I should resign? Because PTL already looked at my DAC(HireRight lady told me) so I have an alternative company to go back on if Covenant doesn’t want to rehire.(just gonna keep an eye on my DAC big time) and if TMC says no

 

Ofcourse its not on your dac... It wont go on there untill you quit or fired...

 

Accident history is on the driver application better to be truthful instead of them finding out and terminating you.

 

I might just have to suck it up for a year... because I got a loan(huge interest rate) to pay off and I don’t want to be screwed. I have to drive with Covenant for 2 more months I think til I can do they’re solo accounts(the few of them they have)

 

I'd be looking for an alternative to Covenant, yes. As for TMC, what did the recruiter say were the company's requirements? They may allow two preventables if that's all you've got on you record. Every company is different.

Their website is pretty terse about their requirements:

• Valid Class A CDL or ability to obtain one
• No more than three moving violations within the last five years
• Solid, stable work history
• No DUI's in the last 10 years
• Able to perform essential functions of the job with no restriction

What you should not do is try to fool them. They've been doing this for a long time and any short cut or trick you can think of they will have already seen attempted many times over.

 

I’ll ask him tomorrow, if not I’ll toughen up and work with Covenant and get my stuff paid off.

Anyone know any companies that hire with 2 preventables lol?
