Hi, I need some advise on companies that will hire a driver with 2 terminations on my record. One of which I completely dispute but at this point that is irrelevant. I have a good driving and accident record along with no criminal history. The one termination I do not dispute is because of a third late delivery. That occurred due to my poor trip planning skills as a new driver and I have not been late with a load for 2 years now. Thanks for any carriers you might recommend.

Western Express?

Doesn't really matter if you're disputing - what matters is what's on your DAC - and what the HR department of these companies respond when your potential new employer checks your references (which they are required to do).

So it's very relevant.

So I am assuming that the "service failures" termination was the first employer - and the disputed/irrelevant one is the most recent?

Again - it becomes very relevant.

Not to be NOSY - but it's kinda difficult to make suggestions/give advice, without having a clue what the "irrelevant termination" was actually for.

DAC:

Drive-A-Check Report

A truck drivers DAC report will contain detailed information about their job history of the last 10 years as a CDL driver (as required by the DOT).

It may also contain your criminal history, drug test results, DOT infractions and accident history. The program is strictly voluntary from a company standpoint, but most of the medium-to-large carriers will participate.

Most trucking companies use DAC reports as part of their hiring and background check process. It is extremely important that drivers verify that the information contained in it is correct, and have it fixed if it's not.

Thanks. I meant irrelevant due to the fact as you pointed out it is listed as Termination now on my DAC and the fact i'm contesting it wont matter. It probably wont matter to a future employer as all they will see is Termination unless I can get company to change it.
