Default DAC to our advantage

Just an idea...If we all quit under dispatch or something like that, we should all have it on our DAC. If we all had a terrible DAC record, who would these companies hire?

Aren't they doing that already? Every GD trucking paper has a
spanish section. Now they want to get the aging baby boomers. Who's next? The mentally disturbed? The legally blind? Vinos out of the gutter?
Hell, why not? :x

I did not mean that. What I meant was the industry is going after a certain segment of the population.

Not jumping on you for insulting us "boomers." But, there is a reason they want us. Most of us are more mature, less likely to take risks. We know we are not invincible. We don't quit a job just because the owner won't let us take 20 breaks a day. We are more experienced "drivers."

And MOST of us wear our pants up around our WAIST!!!!! :P :lol:
