| i believe the only way to get a dac report is to write them and send the appropriate info... to get the address you can call them but wont take orders over the phone |

I haven't looked at the website that was provided by the driver above. However, you must submit a written request along with your C.D.L. Number and Social Security Number.
The address is:
U.S.I.S.
Attention: Consumers
P.O. Box 33181
Tulsa, OK 74153
It was ironic because when I had left my company no one had slammed my D.A.C. All the companies couldn't verify my employment because my employer requested payment for that information. No other company wanted to pay so the D.A.C. report was the only way they could verify employment. I had to call the Safety Dept. and ask them to slam my D.A.C. Too funny!!! I would have never done it if someone could have verified employment otherwise. Obviously, an oversight on someone's behalf in Safety!!! I guess I would have a clean D.A.C. if I hadn't called them. SIGH!!! :roll: 8) :) |

| I've heard if you're late for a load this will show up on the dac. Is this true? |

Other than safety related information, ie accidents, companies can only place short descriptions in your DAC file. If you get fired for being late too often they might say something like; Terminated: Performance issues or something along those lines, but they are not going to itemize every time you are late on a load.
Also it has been my experience that it takes a lot of tardiness for companies to actually fire a driver for it. The common practice is to starve them out by giving them shorter run with lots of time built into them which cuts into your check so bad that a driver is forced out. Then they just put on your DAC Quit. |

With many of the big carriers how would you know the difference between a good driver that quit and a bad one ? |

I had friends that didn't give two week notices where I work and they slammed their D.A.C. by saying "Left Involuntarily". Both of them were owed huge sums of money by the company due to breakdowns and long stays in motel rooms which they were not reimbursed for prior to their departures.
Other companies know the company's policy on the way they slam people's D.A.C.s so it didn't matter to either one of them getting hired by other companies. So primarily if you company has a reputation for not being fair to drivers other companies will disregard some of the garbage on the D.A.C.
It always behooves you to try to get some of it off prior to departing your current employer. Someone told me that they are like credit reports once it's on the D.A.C. it's hard to get it off!!! :) 8) :roll:
I also wander how anyone would know that you are a good driver [no service failures] because you certainly can't tell that by looking at a D.A.C. report. |

| I wonder if it is possible to request a copy from your current employer if they ran one before hiring? |

i have gotten a copy of my dac, the info on it is vague. companies that use it will ask you to verify the info. and unless you have 1 you can't. if you get terminated you need to get a copy to see if the info is accurate. 1 company told me i was terminated for something, got the dac report and listed something else. i'm in the process of getting it fixed but everything is done by mail no fax's. and if you quit the company you might want to check your report THEY DO MAKE MISTAKES and could screw you.
dealing with it now |

| its really amazing to me how easy it is for a company to put something on there but its so difficult to just get a copy for yourself.....and you would be surprised what can get on there besides saftey issues....I currewntly have an entry on my DAC for complaining to much. Seems that my first dispatcher from my first company didnt like me complaining about sitting for days at a time and running 1400miles a week....he put down on my DAC that I was a habitual complainer, I had to answer to this and explain it when I was getting on with BARR-NUNN....interesting stuff has a way of making it on there |

| If you have access to a lawyer; as him if such an entry on your dac report is grounds for a libel suit. |

There is a category that employers may check on the job performance section titled "Late pickup/delivery."
