What Is A DAC Report?
The DAC employment report is a detailed summary of a trucker’s work history in the trucking industry. Most trucking companies today participate in sharing this information about truckers.
The DAC employment report contains items such as number of accidents, reasons for quitting or why they were fired, if they are eligible for re-hire, type of driving, commodities hauled, types of trailers pulled and MUCH more.

I think the DAC report is totally unfair to drivers. I worked for a company called K&B Trucking for a few months. They dispatched me illegally all the time. Because I did not complain about it they really loved me and took advantage of me…
I finally got so worn out I told them I quit. They begged me to stay and keep going, but I could not. After I quit they got really upset and told me to just park the truck. I later found out K&B reported a few bad things about me on the DAC report that were untrue. K&B got mad at me so that’s how they got back at me. K&B are the ones that should have been reported but because of DAC they made me look bad not themselves. After a year I got turned down for a job and found out the reason was K&B put untrue things on the DAC report. I disputed the claims but got nothing solved. Evidently DAC takes the companies side over the worker.

I too have been a victim of trucking companies giving inaccurate information to Dac services. They have litterally ruined my trucking resume and I cannot get a job because of them. I believe that they should have to provide proof of their allegations to Dac services. Dac services should be responsible for investigating the allegations before posting them on the reports. They should not take the word of these trucking companies.

On Sept 14,2005 I picked up a load in Fostoria,Ohio. I stopped at a red light at HWY 224,and US 23. After the light turned green,and the intersection was clear I proceeded to make a left turn,as I was making my turn a guy driving car slammed into the right rear of my truck taking out the rear axle on my straight truck. The passenger was thrown from the car,and died. What was this guy doing that he couldn’t see a big truck in the intersection? Well come to find out that the Ohio State Highway Patrol covered up for the driver of the car,because the car was owned by the state of Ohio,and the driver was an Ohio state employee ! The judge at the Fostoria Municipal Court took the Police’s side,and I have a “Vehicular Manslaughter” charge on my record,and the state of Ohio is fighting my reinstatement since 2006. I file a disiplinary complaint against the officers,and the attorneys on how my case was handled. “Equal justice under the Law”? Not if you have cops that lie. There were witness that saw this guy run the light into my truck. Do you think the police,and Ohio attorneys were interested in an out of state trucker? I’ve lost my job,my truck,and my retirement money just trying to clear my name. I’ve driven for 38 yrs,and I just ordered my DAC Report just to see how inaccurate it will be. I doubt I’ll be able DAC will help clear up the bad information. Sound like someone should go after DAC.
