    Default DAC/USIS and a company that goes under .

    I thought I remember reading that if a trucking company goes under (out of business completely) that DAC/USIS has to remove all the info reported to them by that company...Anyone know the deal ?

    I doubt that the information that they reported would be removed simply because they went out of business. Just because a company no longer exists doesn't necessarily mean that the information they reported doesn't have value. If there is something in your file that is not correct you can dispute the information as being incorrect. Like with the credit bureau they have 30 days in which to respond. Since the company is out of business I would not expect them to be able to respond. No response would likely result in the item being deleted, however, I would contact DAC directly and ask them. There is nothing like going to the horses mouth or to the source.

    If a company no longer pays for DAC's (USIS') services, then DAC no longer includes that information on your report.

    There is some kind of notation in that spot on the report that that particular company no longer uses/subscribes/or something.

    Nope. DAC does not charge for storing information. It charges for retrieving that information.

    Any information reported by a company will stay in your file up to 10 years regardless if the company that reported it is still in biz or not.

    I worked for a company that closed it's doors in 1999 and my employment info was still on the last DAC report I pulled in 2006.
    Finding the right trucking company is like finding the right person to marry. I really comes down to finding one whose BS you can put up with and who can put up wih yours.

    If you dispute an entry that is on your DAC then DAC has 30 days to verify the "incorrect" entry. If the company is out of business then it is unlikely that it will be verified. If the entry is not verified in 30 days they MUST ( by law ) remove the entry. They must also be able to give you the details of the vericfiation ( how, when, by whom.... ect... ) not just say it was verified. This will give you legal recorse in the case of a false entry including money damages if you can show harm ( denied a job because of the entry ).

    This is sure good news for me!!
    Since the company I drove for is now out of business, then if I dispute the information on my DAC report, the drug test that I flunked after being arrested for the drunken rampage that I went on in the company truck that I was driving will be removed from my record!!

    Short answer..... YES!!! The arrest would be verified by the arrest/criminal record. If the drug screen was only done by the company and can't be verified then by law DAC must remove it from your record. Will this "loop-hole" be abused???? I'm sure some will. But it does give the little guy the resources to clear his record if it is wrong.

    One last point on this ( I hope ).

    When you do request verification do so in writing and send return receipt requested. This way you have proof of it being delivered and on what date. On day 31 get a copy of DAC again or call about status. If they say it is verified ask for copy of verification. This is not just a phone call on DAC's part. There is a form that must be filled out with date, time and person who verified. Many times a company that is still in business will balk at verifying something if there is a slight chance it may be reported wrong.

    If they say it has not been verified then remind them NICELY that they are required by law to delete the entry until such time it is verified.( The 30 days has passed ).

    I did not provide this information to help the bad drivers get a "free ride" but I would rather see 10 "get by" than see one good man/woman lose all they have worked for because of one pissed off terminal manager out for revenge.

    The criminal record won't be a problem. I'll just write a letter to the 'jodge" asking him to clear my record!!
