Many truckers have contacted Kevin Watts from
www.thetruckersreport.com regarding problems with their DAC employment report and the un-fairness in this reporting. This report can gravely affect a driver with his/her career. They are undoubtedly very secretive in this practice.
There is NO law stating that IF turned down for a job they have a right to receive and review this information as is the case when turned down for credit (that we are aware of). Often times trucking companies submit false or deceiving information which the driver has no idea exists.
It is difficult to receive this report and trucking companies will NOT give it and are NOT forced to give this report to a prospective employee. Contact info for obtaining your report is listed below. Trucking companies can use this report as a tool to "get revenge" on a driver who has quit them for whatever reason.
We feel this system has to be more OPEN and trucking companies should be forced by Congress to supply EVERY potential employee with a copy of this DAC report or at the very least IF the driver is turned down for ANY reason.
I think we all should call, write and email your Congressman, Senator and your Govonor.
