I have a question about the DAC. I was with a major carrier for 4 years, and I had 2 minor accidents in 2014 and 1 in 2015, all with no injuries, no towing, or anything that was DOT reportable. All 3 show up on my DAC , which I expected. My question is, how long before they "fall off" or disappear from the DAC. I notices that it said on the top of the page that it has a section that said accidents over 7 years old, and then one that says accident under 7 years old. I am currently not on the road due to a few other reasons, but I was just wondering in case I decide to go back on the road...
Thanks in advance,
Chris

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.
