Investigate your drivers
It is not uncommon for a driver with a bad DAC to seek out O/O's or Indpendants to drive for. They know they have a better chance of someone not looking at a bad DAC.
Well, my partners hired someone I sent to them who had admitted to having a bad DAC and we never checked him out after hearing his stories. We ran him pas the insurance company and they checked his MVR and ok'd him.
This guy was a pain from the beginning. Big Mouth, Bad Attitude, and just a pain in the arse in general. He eventually ran off the road and flipped the truck in good weather.
It then came to light that this is not his first wrecked truck.
People are not what they seem. I didn't meet him until after my partners had hired him and didn't like him from that point on. He gave a good sob story but was a snot-nosed runt, con-artist, who was constantly late in delivering loads, picking up loads, or not showing at all. He was on his way to be fired when he wrecked the truck.
I urge you to not be suckered by guys who coming crying to you with a story.
