d) a illegal left turn-- is considered a serious traffic infraction sometimes
(just like lane change)

Dac checks other things too-- like insurance records-- have any accidents?

Maybe, you should contact DACFix.com and get it fixed. Or at least contact the company that is denying you the job and find out for sure-- was it a bad DAC or a bad MVR? ( they are not one in the same)

well lets see

A. no

B. yes

B2 no

C. well as a matter of fact we in Arizona get 25 year drivers licenses and they are like credit cards not laminated

D. that could be it

never had an accident have no past as some here have suggested in my last job we had to have a federal background check in order to keep it. Have contacted dac for a copy am going to call the company on Monday and see whats going on

Mistaken identity?

that's what I said, you shouldnt even have a dac, so I wonder what the real story is.

It appears that we posted about the same time. I feel like I am repeating yourself. :?

If it were me I would contact one of the companies who turned you down who stated it was because of your DAC. Your DAC comes under the same rules as your credit report. You are entitled to get a free copy if you are turned down for a job due to information on your DAC.

I don't think so but I did run my name thru one of those sites that shows all stuff from driving to criminal convictions and there were 3 other so that might be the problem hope to find out on monday

thx gman am going to call first thing in the morning and have sent the request for the report but that will be a while. The one thing I did forget to mention that seemed strange to me was I got a letter from the company who handles both dac and apparently the fingerprints for hazmat saying that the fingerprints had to be redone because they didnt go thru probably
nothing but seems strange when they were done with a digital fingerprint machine but we will see that to is on the list for tmw.

Is there anything about DAC that isn't Dirty!-- Chirst,--- they used to have a name for it-- call 'BLACK LIST', 'BLACK BALLING'

They list each time an inquiry is made and by whom:

too many hits too often while you're a current employee for various companies-- gives perspective employers the impression that you are a
"FREQUENT SHOPPER" prone to jump as soon as you THINK you found--
"greener pasture". Or, you like trying to 'scare' your present employer-- and they are being 'pimped out'-- doing background work-- to no avail.

These days, even your credit rating can affect you getting a job.
"If my credit rating was good, I wouldn't need your stinkin'job" :!: :roll:
