So, you don’t think we have a REAL problem with the DAC Report?   If you haven’t received  a copy of yours yet,  I recommend that you do so.  People’s lives are being ruined by a system that has no check and balances.  Simply put, a company can send whatever comments they want about an employee to HireRight and that’s it!

Unlike the personal credit reporting systems where you can dispute something and then the burden is placed on the company to prove the accusation, not so with DAC.   It is much more difficult to get wrongful information off of your DAC.   You can dispute it, but it’s a lengthy process that is extremely time consuming and frusutrating for most ( many people need help with the process.)

Here’s an example of one of the many DAC emails we receive.  You won’t believe this one…and it goes on all the time.  The gentleman who wrote us gave us permission to place this on the blog with his full name.

Allen & Donna,

I pulled a DAC report on myself and noted a major flaw, as the company I haven’t even driven for yet stated that I damaged equipment that resulted in injury or death.   I have threatened to sue them.   Was I right in doing that or what should I do?  It’s not that I’m looking for a career as a driver, as I’m seeking employment as a news reporter!

Thanks in advance!

Pete Kleckner

Please sign the petition.   Also, we have updated our web page to reflect the changes in the DAC Services information:  Everything you need to know about the DAC Report.

Also, we received an email from Wayne Weisser of Life on the Road News Blog a couple of days ago.  He said that if you are an owner operator with 2+ years experience and are  having problems because of a bad DAC,  contact him at:

wayne@bohemian.net

He runs all 48,  no Canada and no Hazmat.   He has a small dry van company.

As 2009 winds down, Truth About Trucking will continue to push forward in 2010 by our continual exposing of scams, abuse and fraud within the over the road trucking industry.   As professional truck drivers, there still exists employee and constitutional rights and those trucking companies which continue to take advantage of drivers, students and trainees, should be held accountable for their actions and their total disregard for the law.

We have and continue to receive emails, letters and phone calls from drivers of all experience everyday, and we appreciate all the input.   As we move into the new year, let’s push this fight to raise the standards of the trucking industry, even further.   We would invite all who have experienced these scams and abuses first hand, to report your experiences directly to your State Attorney General’s office.

Issues such as:

• False DAC Reporting
• CDL Student Loan fraud
• Victim of a Owner Operator Lease Purchase Program
• Terminated from driving job after a short period of time
• CDL school questionable conduct
• Harassment by a driver-trainer,  with no follow through from company
• Purposely starved out by trucking company
• Obvious misconduct by company, such as poor miles, unreasonable job demands

The State Attorney General is the chief law enforcement officer for the State.  It is their job to protect consumers of the State from:

• telemarketing scams
• identity theft
• credit fraud
• deceptive home improvement work
• civil rights violations
• questionable charity fund raising
• false advertising
• other unfair practices
• protects children from Internet predators
• pursues con artists who target senior citizens
• targets drug trafficking
• gun violence
• fights fraud and scams that can be financially devastating to families.

Frauds and scams that can financially devastate you and/or your family . . . it’s time to take these trucking scam issues to the next level.   The State Attorney General will actively investigate and pursue any report or claim of abuse, scam or fraud by these OTR trucking companies and if found liable, will take appropriate actions.   If you feel you have been treated unfairly and unjust as a driver for one of the companies, contact your State Attorney General’s office:

Find your State Attorney General . . .

Let your story be told . . . contact your State Attorney General and let’s keep fighting to “Raise the Standards of the Trucking Industry.”

Earlier this evening our BTR show, Truth About Trucking “LIVE” aired a 90 minute show discussing the Dan Rather interview with TruckerDesiree.   Thanks to the callers and listeners and those in the chat room for tuning in . . . show has already been downloaded nearly 100 times within 1.25 hours.

I had some phone trouble during the last 5 minutes of the show and lost all connection, so was unable to “close” it out like I normally do, but the show focused on Desiree’s story and the real purpose of exposing these scams, lies and deceit within certain segments of the trucking industry.

Truth About Trucking has been working to expose these issues for nearly 5 years now, and with TruckerDesiree exposing a further hidden “secret” of the OTR industry . . . the industry is taking notice.  Change for the better can happen.

I have nothing to gain from exposing these lies and scams of the over the road industry.  They have been going on for years and the time has finally come that these issues are becoming known . . . CDL students and new drivers have the RIGHT TO KNOW . . . and for those trucking companies and CDL schools who participate in these scams and abuses . . . we will continue to expose them until they are changed and all drivers . . . students, new drivers and veteran drivers alike . . . receive the respect and honesty that they deserve.
