Your DAC is everything

This is gathering steam and currently in Court, etc, with OOIDA! Even & especially as a Company Driver, Join, squeek your wheel, and help us all change this injustice asap as it's happening to us all everyday! Stay Informed and fight the wrong's at/with OOIDA.

 

Sorry to hear you got Dac'ed Bobo. The first company I worked for tried the same thing, but after dealing with the reprocussions, I found a company that doesn't use USIS (DAC's parent company) so I am going to try and move forward. And that is probably what you will have to do too; since everything else sounds good (MVR,etc) hopefully you can get something better worked out soon.

And OTRDriver is right, OOIDA has been trying to get their day in court against USIS. I believe that they suffered some form of setback in court, but they are appealing. If I remember correctly, it may have been that a Federal Judge denied them class action status, but don't quote me on it.

And once you get your DAC, you can have an addendum (I think) added, where you can explain your side.

 

To get acopy of your DAC send a copy of your driver license and SOS card along with your address and phone number to

USIS Transportation services consumer department
p.o. box 33181
Tulsa,OK 74153

Fedral law requries them to respond within 15 working days.
Employers are requried by law to present proff of said offence.

Good luck! and i hope this helps.

 

I'm a complete newbie but familiar with employment law. This appears to be a constructive start. You should be able to enter text into your own file in response to what the company wrote, but their may be a time limit, so don't delay.

 

I know a guy who hires drivers and he says it might be the timing of your application or the short time at your last employer with a negative outcome.

When freight is slow,they might not hire a driver with a bump on their DAC and then later on in the year,might hire a driver with a couple of bumps when the freight picks up.There is minimum requirements for hire but you can get a thumbs down if their is a pool of drivers with cleaner records and they don't need to hire as many drivers.

If your employment as a driver was terminated after a month, you should have some idea why you where fired? Many companies just don't want you if you can't make it more then a month at a company without a negative outcome.

Just keep sending the applications in and put a rebuttal in your DAC file. Many companies know that their competitors will lie on a DAC.
