D.A.C. Reports
Before you go to a trucking school or even apply for a trucking job it is a good idea to be prepared and get a copy of your d.a.c. report! It would not be good to be 3 weeks into training or on the job and get pulled out or fired because somthing showed up that you failed to mention or simply forgot about. This happens!
If you are going to a trucking school and something shows up on your d.a.c. report you will still be responsible for the training cost that you completed! If you have any criminal history or any thing in your work history and or driving record find out first so you can prepare your answers ahead of time. Some things can even be fixed!
Common Questions Regarding “DAC Reports”
Q: Why is my current employer not on the DAC report?
A: Companies only contribute information to the USIS employment history file upon termination of a period of service.
Q: How long will a positive drug test or refusal be reported on my DAC report?
A: Three years—however if you were terminated for the test, the fact that you were terminated (usually with the added information of “company policy violation”) may stay on for 7 years.
Q: How long will the fact that I worked for a particular company stay on my DAC report?
A: 10 Years.
Q: I disagree with information one of my former employers put on my DAC report. I want the information corrected. How do I do this?
A: The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires USIS to investigate and correct (within 30 days) any incorrect information and allow a rebuttal statement from the driver. DOTJobHistory has a free tool in its members only section that allows drivers to trigger the investigation and submit their rebuttal.
Q: I got my DAC report and most of my employers were not even listed. Why?
A: USIS does not have all trucking companies as members. You can have worked for 10 companies over the past 10 years and not one will show up.
