Questions About Your DAC Report? We've Got Answers.

A "DAC FAQ"
Q: What is a "DAC Report?"
A: The information that an employer reports to USIS/DAC on a driver when the driver leaves employment (the employment history) is generally referred to as a "DAC."
Q: I got my DAC report and most of my employers were not even listed. Why?
A: USIS does not have all trucking companies as members. You can have worked for 10 companies over the past 10 years and not one will show up. Only companies that use USIS report employment history to USIS that will be shown on a DAC report.
Q: Why is my current employer not on the DAC report?
A: Companies only contribute information to the USIS employment history file upon termination of a period of service.
Q: How long will a positive drug test or refusal be reported on my DAC report?
A: Three years-however if you were terminated for the test, the fact that you were terminated (usually with the added information of "company policy violation") may stay on for 7 years.
Q: How long will the fact that I worked for a particular company stay on my DAC report?
A: 10 Years.
Q: I disagree with information one of my former employers put on my DAC report. I want the information corrected. How do I do this?
A: The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires USIS to investigate and correct (within 30 days) any incorrect information and allow a rebuttal statement from the driver. DOTJobHistory has a free tool in its member only section that allows drivers to trigger the investigation and submit their rebuttal.
