I wasn't aware that wearing a hat backwards was a belief or value. I thought it was a fashion statement (or lack thereof), just like ratty clothes, unwashed stringy long hair, etc.

Kaji, in case you care (which I somehow doubt other than to tell me you're somehow right) all you are doing by getting ugly and using language (yes..****** is still language) is proving everybody else's point. Especially for being new here I suggest you back off and at least use common courtesy when addressing others, as MOST others here do. Also, hijacking a thread is rude at best, especially to call people names.

My bad, I bow out.

tbrown,
my response would be to go back to my previous Employer, and confront them on this BS claim. I'd get directly to the bottom of it. Face to face.

It has been my policy, anytime I leave an Employer, I do not turn my gear in, until I have a signed letter of reference. Never use to be so important in the years past. But these days...Boy Howdy.... :shock: you have to protect yourself, and your license.
Companies are spending more on checking previous employment history.

I've been a big believer in getting stuff written on paper. Whenever I have left a Company...I too...like your Husband take the high road, and I've been burned after I left. Now I leave smarter. I like to leave the door open, and there have been jobs, I've returned to....and some I've burnt the bridge as I left.

When someone just flat out does you wrong...you have to confront it. Maybe it will get straightened out...maybe not. You need to try though.

For clarification, he left "Company A" who had no problems with him whatsoever. Now that he quit, it seems like they're trying to bad mouth him about logs - which he was never told about. How would you pursue employment with other companies when this is what they are saying?

What your other half should do is write "Company A" certify return receipt requested and advise them what he has heard from "company B". Request they address your concerns. If they have indeed given false information they must correct this false information and contact "company B" and any other company they have this false information too. They must place in his file a statement to that effect. They have 10 days to response to both your letter and make the corrections. Failure to do so is a federal offense and legal actions can be taken.

Just remember to do this in a civil manner no threats just facts.

I would also recommend he go back through over his logs and verify they are indeed legal in all aspects. I would do that BEFORE he writes that letter.

The old days of "black balling" a driver has become a lot harder in the last few years. I’m not saying it can’t be done.

Thanks Ken!

KC....you made a very interesting post. I agree...in business matters, you really need to keep a level head, and yet stand your ground.
What you are saying about federal offense and all...can you explain this a little further?

In trying to pursue a new company, he is told that this old company is saying he had issues w/logs - they decided now they wanted 1 year exp to hire him. No one EVER told him he had any issues w/his logs. How would you pursue subsequent companies? (EXCELLENT references from all other employers).

Log problems typically aren't a big problem in the hiring process. I personally could not care less if a guy had some slight log problems. These issues happen.

Go to http://www.speedingticketcentral.com/DAC.html near the bottom of the page is a section labelled NEW DAC TRUCK DRIVER REGULATIONS it gave a pretty good overview of your rights and how to handle any dispute.

Just above this section discuss your DAC report.
