Listen Later

A DAC report, also known as a DAC (Drive-A-Check) employment report, is a detailed background check and employment history report for individuals who have worked in the commercial trucking industry. It is commonly used by trucking companies and employers in the transportation industry to evaluate the driving and employment history of prospective hires, especially commercial truck drivers.

Here are some key points about DAC reports:

  1. Contents: A DAC report typically includes information about an individual's driving history, employment history, and other relevant details. This can include details of accidents, traffic violations, drug and alcohol test results, employment dates, job performance evaluations, and more.
  2. Purpose: DAC reports are used by trucking companies and employers to assess the suitability of candidates for positions that involve operating commercial vehicles. Employers use these reports to make informed hiring decisions and to ensure the safety and reliability of their drivers.
  3. Privacy and Accuracy: It's important to note that DAC reports contain sensitive information, and employers must comply with federal regulations, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), when obtaining and using these reports. Individuals have the right to access and dispute inaccuracies in their DAC reports.
  4. Regulation: The DAC reporting system is regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in the United States. Employers are required to maintain certain records and report certain information to DAC as part of their hiring and employment processes.
  5. Challenges: DAC reports have faced criticism in the past for inaccuracies and the potential for misuse. It's crucial for both employers and individuals to ensure that the information in these reports is accurate and up-to-date.
  6. Access: Individuals who wish to obtain a copy of their DAC report can request it from HireRight, the company that manages DAC reports. They can also dispute any inaccuracies found in the report through HireRight's dispute process.

In summary, a DAC report is a comprehensive background check and employment history report specifically tailored for individuals in the commercial trucking industry. It plays a vital role in the hiring process for trucking companies and is subject to regulations to protect the privacy and rights of individuals.
