What old.school said...and for future reference...companies usually don't report on your DAC until you leave. So say you go to Prime for six months then apply elsewhere...until you quit prime wouldn't report to DAC.

I say be honest. I work for Prime and they dug stuff up that I forgot about AND was no where near as bad as what others had. But they found it. Wasn't even an arrest but they found it and at first accused me of lying but I think that was to see my reaction.

yes I been honest with recruiter about every job i had exact dates i had to go get , my only worry was going to orientation and a fail drug test appear on my dac from a pre employment drug screen that i did at the airport . so i ordered a dac report and delayed my date to leave after the dac report gets here i would have left this monday but now i have to wait two weeks so my dac report gets here . everything else from job history to misdemeanor cases i reported everything to prime my recruiter andrea

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.

The point is you have no DAC because you never drove commercially. Leave whenever you want. You will wait for two weeks and find nothing on it.

Its like saying "I've never been a lawyer but I'm waiting for the Bar Association to inform me of any ethics violations against me.".
