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.

I was under the impression a second job must be counted as on duty not driving on your logs. Not sure how a driving job would be classified.

I could be wrong, but I would swear I read that

You're still supposed to take those hours into consideration of what you have on your 70 clock, and when you ended your day to figure out when you LEGALLY have completed a 34 reset. It is for ANY work regardless if it's a different driving job or washing dishes at the local diner. Could you get away with not counting those hours? Probably, but in the event you're in a serious accident that has long lasting effects it will be discovered that you weren't abiding by HOS law.

Rob T. is correct.

Performing any compensated work for a person or company who is not a motor carrier shall also be considered on-duty, per FMCSA regulations.

Technically, you're supposed to log the part time gig as well. Just saying, be careful. If you can do both jobs in under 70 hours, still giving yourself time for a 34 by Monday, you're good to go.
