The MVR may not show your CDL related incidents. The DAC should show it. You can request a free copy each year on the HireRight website.

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
An MVR is a report of your driving history, as reported from your state Department of Motor Vehicles. Information on this report may include Drivers License information, point history, violations, convictions, and license status on your driving record.
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.
I was terminated from my first company 3 months ago for a non dot reportable accident, no big deal there. It was my first accident ever and I started driving for another company the very next week so I've been with my new company for about 3 months.
No big deal? Apparently it was, you lost your job over it. What else happened?
Most companies will NOT terminate a rookie driver for only one minor accident at the three month mark. There are other circumstances surrounding this. Try to provide us with ALL the information...
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.
I was thinking about the no big deal comment too.
My question is whether you got the ticket for speeding in adverse conditions at the same time as the non reportable accidemt?
you might think you were fired for the impact when you were actually fired for the speeding. for example, we got a fleet message that a veteran driver of 10 years was terminated automatically for excessive speeding downhill. no warning, just fired. he was in an 85mph zone out west and was doing 90 downhill.
ask for a copy of the DAC amd find out. Honestly, im curious as to why you care now. its been 3 mos. why now?
if your intention is to leave this company i would advise against it for another year. get at least one yrar of solid and safe driving with this company.

Correct, the accident was a way to push me out. A few weeks before my accident I got into a verbal dispute with my DM about my sometime. It was a pretty heated argument but I wasn't in the wrong so they didn't write me up but the same week of the argument I was "coincidentally" pulled in for a random drug test. I passed the drug test so I was good but a couple of weeks later is when I had the accident. Everyone was surprised when they fired me but I knew why and I wasn't upset. I said "no big deal there" because it wasn't. Not sure if you saw where I mentioned but not even 3 days after being fired I started driving for the new company I've been with for 3 months now. I went from making 16 cents a mile to making flat rate $1100 a week. So there was no big deal with the termination. I was already looking to leave which they knew. I just wanted to know what would be on my DAC. I'm not unemployed or looking for a new company.

Well....we cant tell you what an employer put on your DAC.
they could have put "imsubordination or diificult personality" due to the argument. they might have truly believed that you were on drugs due to your aggressive behavior during an argument.
the thing for everyone to learn with this story.."i was planning on leaving them anyway and got a job right away. but i burned a bridge regarding a reference ."
if you are truly unhappy at a compamy and cannot make it work, find another job, give notice in a professional manner, and keep your doors open.
good luck

Yes I got the ticket in lue of my accident. After the investigation they concluded that I was going 44mph when I hit the brakes. Company policy is half of the posted speed limit. The posted speed limit was 65 for trucks so by policy I should have been going 32.5 or 33. So that is the real reason why but as I said it wasn't a big deal for me because the same day that the accident happened and they said I was suspended until further notice I made calls to find a new job. I was in Michigan. The company I'm with now bought me a plane ticket from Detroit to Atlanta GA and I started driving and making Wayyyyyyy more money. I was under a load for my new company exactly 3 days after my accident.

Okay....so guess what the DAC is probably going to say..."Failure to obey company policy" THAT is not what you want on a DAC and truly can hinder your career.
i have news for you....i have a friend who got a speeding ticket while driving for one company. it wasnt on his CMV report yet and landed a different company with no issues.. six months later the new company ran his license again and found it. termination. our companies run our records periodically. it is totally possible that ticket was not on your CMV record yet but is now. It is totally possible that you new wonderful company will see it later and termination....for the second time in a row. that wont look good.
do not be too proud about landing an awesome high paying job, because any of us who drive safely can do that. I make more than you, so THERE! (see how childish that sounds?)
slow down, follow the policy, and there is no need to worry about your DAC. People who do are those who make poor decisions.
A CMV is a vehicle that is used as part of a business, is involved in interstate commerce, and may fit any of these descriptions:

A double dose of 
Hey you're right "Genius", unsafe operation in an 80,000 pound battering ram is no "big deal".
Totally cool to blow-up the safe speed limit in a construction zone and walk-away with only a citation. Eh...no big deal. Totally cool and no big deal to have a preventable and write-it-off as non-reportable...totally cool to hit s**t when quitting is inevitable and make light of it.
So this is your take-away...
"Yup no big deal...high demand for truck drivers, had another job almost immediately regardless of what the other company thought of me."
Any idea how arrogant and dismissive you are coming across? Here is the take-away for rational, normal thinking people:
Unsafe Driing; is a Very Big Deal.
First three months you f'd up at least three times with your first employer, got very lucky...and have no clue what you got away with.
Won't always be the case though, your cavilier attitude will eventually get you in some serious trouble that unfortunately will be a big deal.

OP, G-Town is an INFINITE percent right on this one. ANY mistake that happens in a semi is a HUGE deal. Hopefully you learned a lesson from this and will stick with the company you are with now for the next year and start taking your job MUCH MORE SERIOUSLY. I wish you good luck.

Hello all, I was terminated from my first company 3 months ago for a non dot reportable accident, no big deal there. It was my first accident ever and I started driving for another company the very next week so I've been with my new company for about 3 months. I ordered my updated MVR and it doesn't mention the accident but it has my ticket listed (Too fast for road conditions for 2 pts). Since my mvr has no mention of an accident, does anyone know what my DAC will have on it since it was non dot reportable?
