Dac Report????
Topic 18768 | Page 1
A private trucking school - is NOT A TRUCKING COMPANY. They won't/can't report to DAC. The only possible exception would be, if you FAILED A DOT DRUG SCREEN.
DAC is a record of EMPLOYMENT in the trucking industry.
As far as any FINANCIAL OBLIGATION to the school - it depends on how the contract is written, and perhaps what your state laws are in regards to "rescission periods" on contracts. In Florida for example - it's 72 hours.
If you haven't actually started school - you might be able to cancel the contract. Best bet - if you have decided to accept training/employment with a company, is to CALL the school and tell them of your change in plans.

DOT:
Department Of Transportation
A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.
State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.
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.
Rick, Thank you for your response. I just did not know how it all worked. I did tell the private company i changed my mind and they weren't too nice about it but i gotta do whats best for me.

I haven't gotten a CDL yet and only state permit, do i have a DAC yet? I signed up to a local private trucking school that was gonna cost me 5k, went in and signed papers. Soon after a company called me and said they have a FREE cdl school and will hire me pending i pass, can the private school do anything due to me signing papers? I did not attend ANY days with private school.
