Trucking Companies Abusing the DAC Report

Stop False DAC ReportingWhich trucking companies are the worse offenders for filing false information against truck drivers to the DAC Reporting Services?

The DAC Report has long since become a retaliation tool against drivers by various trucking companies.  Our STOP False DAC Reporting petition is the first phase of combating this abuse against our professional drivers.  We need further help with the beginning of the second phase . . .

A simple, two-part question survey – False DAC Report – Worse Trucking Companies will work to collect the names of those trucking companies known to be the worse offenders in placing false information on drivers’ DAC reports.   Furthermore, drivers who have fallen victim of the DAC Report scam, are asked to provide the details of what false information was placed on their report.

As in the Stop False DAC petition,  information provided will never be shared to any other parties, nor collected for commercial purposes.    Responses containing advertising, links or any such kind of commercialization will be deleted.

While we continue our case against DAC Services, many of you have written me asking for assistance in removing false information from your DAC report, which have caused you to be blackballed from the industry.  I wanted to advise you of an employment law attorney who specializes in trucking matters.

Attorney Paul Taylor is with the law firm of Taylor & Associates, Ltd.    Their investigator has 30 years of trucking experience and the firm handles trucking abuse cases such as :

  • Refusal to Drive
  • Commercial Truck Lease Disputes
  • Drug and Alcohol Testing
  • DAC Reports
  • Truckers Justice Center states:

    “There are MANY incorrect reports in DAC  files.  Companies will put outright lies into DAC reports as retaliation against drivers.  USIS, now HireRight,  is a consumer reporting agency, which means you have a right to see the information kept in these reports and you have the right to correct the information under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.   The Truckers Justice Center can help you correct your DAC reports.”

    You can contact the Justice Center for Truckers at:

    The petition to stop false DAC Reporting against truck drivers has reached 639 . . . keep the signatures and comments coming.   This abusive system continues to ruin the livelihood for an uncountable number of drivers:

    • “The DAC Report is nothing more than an expensive joke on truckers and a useful tool for employers who cannot face the fact that they run a less than desirable company.”
    • “My truck driving career has been unjustly ruined because of the abuses of the DAC service.”
    • “I went to a funeral for family and ***** out of Nashville put false info on my dac report.”
    • “I totally agree with this 100%. My husband was a new trucker and left a company, neither one of us knew that leaving this company would end his career. We paid out over $8,000.00 for him to become a trucker and now we can not get another company to hire him.”
    • DAC does not take what the driver say, even when the driver shows DAC the proof.”
    • “8 yrs experience with no wrecks or speeding tickets. can’t even get a job because of false info on my DAC.”

    These trucking companies that use DAC as a retaliation tool against drivers, continue  “updating” the false information that they have placed on the driver’s report.  HireRight, which is now DAC, insures the false information remains on the driver’s report.

    • “Quit working for ***** 07-08 and they falsely reported an accident as my fault and continue to report it as my fault every 30 days.  I tried several times to get it expunged and *****  came back AFTER 30 days to put it back on.   *****  is reportedly paying HireRight to keep a false record on me.  So far no company is willing to hire me until the accident is removed and I have been out of work since I quit.”

    For companies to do background checks on drivers in order to protect themselves from “potential litigation, fraud, theft and workplace violence,” is understandable.   What is not understandable, nor acceptable,  is how this system is set up entirely on behalf of the trucking company . . . giving drivers a near zero percentage opportunity to have false information immediately removed from their report.

    Even in the case of HireRight, formerly  DAC Reporting Services, the trucking company is the customer . . . paying for a service . . . on who’s side do you believe the investigating company will be on?

    • “I applied to a company and chose not to even go to work there due to the pay not being reasonable. They then put on my DAC that I abandoned equipment. That report is STILL on my DAC, even though I never worked for that employer.”

    STOP False DAC Reporting . . .
