what happens to your DAC score if you drive local?

The employer will not be listed on your DAC if they do not use DAC. However, watch your PSP reports if you get level 1 inspected at a scale house and are put OOS for any reason. This will show up on a PSP report, and the employer will be listed. So that's a database that can, in theory, track your employment record; although PSP would show also, who the truck is leased from, and not exactly the company you were driving for.

 

You are going to have a DAC. On my DAC I have my drivers license information. The information is there coded to you, but it's incomplete because no job information is provided. Also don't fall for that mistake of thinking just because a company does not use DAC to hire that they don't report employment information, they sometimes do! There are 3rd party companies that help companies with their HR and payroll services.

 

I've been driving 20 years, I have idea if I have a DAC or what it says. Nor do I care.

 

I drove for a bit longer. However I feel as you do. I took great pride in my driving and did my job. I had very few service failures or incidents. My father taught me how to drive. After my retirement I ordered a copy of my DAC just for the fun of it. Honestly before that I never really worried about it because when I made an application I was contacted quickly and asked when can you start. I could go much deeper but don't want to hijack this thread.

 

if you work for a company that subscribes to DAC, your information with them is on file for at least 7 yrs. after the 7 yr period, no information about you can be legally given out. however, you will be in DAC's system for life.

i had ordered up my free copy and got my complete file from when i first started driving. all it had was the employers, and NO other information about me.

if you go to work for a company that does NOT subscribe to DAC, it only means they cannot enter any information about you, but your lifetime file is STILL with DAC, for yet another employer you may go to in your future.

just that after 7 years, they cannot say anything about you, only they can give out the employer's name/address.

 

An employer can have a subscription, but it doesn't mean they'll enter information about you. In my career, I only have 3 employers that sent information to DAC/USIS/Hireright/whatever they're called now, and one of them was a stupid temp company that I work for for only 4 hours.

 

Nothing on my file. I was local .
My In law got his dac,had a lot of accidents back when he drove. This was about 15 years ago.
His Dac showed nothing now. Not an ounce of info.

 

I think DAC should be illegal. It's a way for employers to retaliate against drivers, and defame drivers. Making materially false statements about your employment history. I had to hire a lawyer to threaten a company one time, worked pretty good, never see them on my DAC at this point.
