As, a Truck Driver have you ever seen what is on your DAC Report? Do you even know what a DAC Report is? A DAC Report is to a Driver, the same as a Credit Report is to somebody trying to get a loan.
DAC, even though it is supposed to be regulated by The Fair Credit Reporting Act, is still an abusive system that too many companies use to get back at a truck driver.
Even though the truck driver does everything right, by giving his/her two weeks notice, then taking the truck and trailer to the companies terminal, also making sure it is clean when turned in will often still notice a negative mark on their report.
Companies do this often as a retaliation towards you, the truck driver for leaving their company. Its almost as if the company is like a child, if you get up and leave the child will throw a tantrum. Same thing these companies do, only their tantrum could cost you your career.
Trucking companies pay a Due each year to DAC in order to place reports on DAC and also to receive reports from DAC. So, as long as the due has been paid DAC really doesn't care if what has been put on the report is legit or not. As long as they have received their money.
The truck driver has a right to receive one FREE copy of your DAC report per year, but DAC services uses this for a scam as well. You can send for your DAC report, then you do not receive it, and when you call DAC about it they say they have mailed it out, and it is not their problem you did not receive it. If, you want another copy it will cost you $9.00 this time.

If you see a false report, then you are ALLOWED to dispute this, and the reporting company has 30 days to respond, if they do not respond then it is suppose to be removed from your DAC report. But, in most cases it will not be removed, because DAC is going to site with the company because the companies pay them money.
