ask the company that turned you down what was on your report, you cant have a dac report if you never drove a truck, so what's the real story?

GMAN 09-28-2008 10:54 AM

Unless you have worked in this industry before you should not have anything on your DAC.

Jimbpard 09-28-2008 11:32 AM

maybe your reputation preceeds you ?

You can have a DAC report-- without ever "working" in this industry.

a) you went to a Truck Driving School-- paid for by Company X- and quit/ got kicked out/ did not repay.

b) you been calling around a lot to recruiters-- giving out your social security
number-- they been checking your MVR and making inquires to DAC.

b2) You attended orientation at some trucking company-- quit or was dismissed?

c) how does a middle Initial 'rub' off a laminated driver's license?

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)

Back when I first turned 16 and got my very own horse and buggy there was no such thing as a laminated drivers license.

It was paper.

true-- but unless he's from Nevada? I think Nevada is the only state that issues-- non-expiring "Forever" licenses? anyone know for sure?

And most these day's come laminated.

I believe that today, most states have them just like a credit card with the magnetic strip on the back and all. My last one did get hard to read, but it wasn't just the middle initial. The whole thing got to be hard to read. Still, I don't see where that would knock him out of a job. Did he lie on his application?

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: Really? Does that happen often? I have nothing on my Dac but that seems kind of dirty.

freebird 09-28-2008 02:05 PM

Just a shot but...
is yours a fairly common name?
i.e. Dave A. Jones, Richard Johnson.......?
Mistaken identity?

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.

could you say that again? :D

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:

DACFix is a scam, plain and simple. It's run by a couple of former DAC employees that are charging you big bucks to do the same thing you can do for free with about 5 minutes on the phone with DAC.

:roll:


was it a bad DAC or a bad MVR? ( they are not one in the same)
That's right on. Sounds to me like the original poster is being turned down due to MVR, not the DAC.

As far as inquiries into DAC, it's not like a credit reporting company. Multiple inquiries into your DAC from numerous companies do not show up to other companies, so are not considered when looking at someone for hire.

The positives and negatives of DAC have been rehashed and rehashed about 8 million times on this website and others. DAC, itself, isn't a bad deal. 99% of the time, it works like it's supposed to in helping potential employers get a driver on the road in the shortest amount of time.

That said, though, there are a small number of companies out there that use DAC to screw a driver. That number is low, however, and in the 7+ years I've been doing this, I've seen it happen a very small number of times. I hate to say it, but most of the time, those "bad" DAC reports that people complain about, turn out to be true.

bigm3944 09-29-2008 04:28 AM

Well as it turns out one of us made an error and didn't show the school I am in so they just rejected due to no experience and automatically send that letter to all who are denied talked with them this morning and got hired on the phone with no interview so all is well again. Now I just have to get the fingerprint thing straight

Rev.Vassago 09-29-2008 04:34 AM

I think you owe Mr. DAC an apology. :wink:
