In 35 years of hiring people i have seen quite a few DAC reports(and entered many)
There is no place in DAC to enter an incident,only accident.
The point i was making is a DAC report is almost always followed up with a written response in which the previous employer will list all incidents and accidents.
If you would like i will give you all options that can be entered in DAC.

This is all the options to enter into DAC. Point and click only.
It will not alow for conficting information to be entered.
example: satisfactory work and log violation you would have to choose one or the other.

I hope this clears up what DAC can and can not do.

If it's not listed with DAC/USIS by a company that uses the service then good luck getting a written response with more employee info than that company reported to USIS ...reason is that info that gets reported to USIS is info that the HR people feel they can report without legal issue ,so if it's not listed with DAC it's unlikely you'll be privilaged to it either .

I guess i need to bow down to your extensive knowledge and throw out all my written responses in the DQ files that have more detailed info than the DAC report. Obviously it can't exist(at least in your mind) Of course you encourage someone to lie/omit info.

Well Chris we all know how recruiters tend to embellish the truth.

Sorry,i am not a recruiter nor have ever been(just my own company's)
I do apoligize for the previous comment(no coffee yet)
As for the original poster i'm quite sure his company informed their liability carrier of the incident(unless a total fly by nite operation) That would mean there is a record in his DQ file. I would hate to see that pop up at a later date by omiting to tell someone about it.

I drove for Werner I had 2 parking lot preventables in2.5 years 1 no damages but driver claimed $100 ...number 2 never happened but customer made the claim ,and inter company record reads undetermined ,but they sent it to dac anyway it 2 was no damages .

Now in that 2.5 years I hit 2 deer in the Rocky moutains ...Had a trailer door come loose when pulling from a dock ...the trailer was pre docked by hostler and there is only about 2ft between trailers so no pretrip on trailer could be made until pulled from dock ,however the securement holdig the doors open was missing on the drivers side ,and as I pulled out of the slot making a near 90 turn the unsecured door closed smacking the mirror fender of the daycabon my driver side this happened while in my blind spot ,and since I had no way to safely pretrip I had no way to know doorhad no latch ,And had a covenant driver rip my bumper/fender/some hood off at the boise, ID TA ...Now that's 4 non preventables with werner in 2.5 years ,and no perspective employer has DQ me for not listing them ...what's more important is I spoke to Werner management ,and was told if it's not a preventable listed with USIS/DAC then they will not release it to anyone else either .

While that may be a company policy at werner(never had the pleasure of a request to them)it is not always the case. I have a file full of written response that has far greater detail than the DAC report.(some are from very large carriers)
The liability is getting to the point that you need greater detail to avoid a negligent hire in the event of a serious accident. A pattern of incidents,even though termed non preventable,can have grave repurcussions later.

Chris1 a recruiter, thats the funniest thing I have read in a year - I just about p1ssed all over my seat laughing at that. The only person I seen him recruit in 10+ years was a former stripper turned driver and I had already hired her. Hell we would get someone talked into coming to work, they would walk into the office and within 2 minutes Chris1 would run them off! Chris1 - "there's your truck, there's your trailer, here's what you get paid, there's the door. If you don't like it use the door."

As for written responses, I have been on that side of the fence as well and I have seen way more information on them than and DAC reports. Even back before the computer age and DAC was a fax form if you didn't follow the rules for reporting such as conflicting information they would reject it and fax it right back. And BTW Chris1 we did have a former Werner driver, remeber the guy who would get drunk in his motel room and not show up for 2 or 3 days at a time? He ran the gammut around there, us, Pat, Tielens, Mike and everyone else up there with reefers.
