Do Shifted Loads Show Up On DAC?
Topic 30357 | Page 1
Things that are put on your DAC report are put there by employers. You can ask your employer or look get a copy of your report. It's run by a company called Hireright.
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.
Ohhh, I don't know know if you will receive the blame or not. If your headboard was pushed out 10 inches, I would think it would require a good amount of force to do so. I feel your pain about the loading of your trailer. I could go into a rant about the poor job our Shipper does on a daily basis with loading our company's trailers.
Shipper:
The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.
Hello Lee!
Have you been with this same company for three years? If so, then they are aware you are a safe driver. Sid already said it, but I just wanted to clarify it for you. Nothing automatically appears on your DAC report unless your employer chooses to put it there.
I'm sorry this happened to you. Aluminum sows are really bad about shifting. I agree they should be loaded on a flat-bed. Maybe the sales people at your company will realize it now. Hang in there, and don't beat yourself up over this.

OOS:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
And too add.... Many employers do not add to your DAC until after you leave. So if you look now or next month you may not see it. But quit in 6 months and it could be added. I would ask the Safety department. And the claims department may have a say if the product damaged/ cost for unloading increased.
I know Prime has removed legitimate incidents from their reports for people trying to get hired elsewhere, so as OS said... Your record is your best defense. Good luck

So I’m pretty irritated right now. I’ve been driving for three years and have only had one incident before this morning. That incident was when I was training, I rubbed a stop sign on private property. No damage to sign tiny scratch on trailer.
So here is how today went. I deliver a load in IL then immediately go to pick up a load of aluminum out of Chicago. It’s big aluminum sows and I’m in a dry van.
The loader packs everything in tight, one row two sows high front to back no spaces other then the sloped sides. I ask if they put anything under them (like they do for skidded coils) and they say no.
I guess there all against the bulk head (I get in and check every load) it looks good so I strap the back of them and put some straps in the center as best I can. 5 miles later I’m doing 10under the speed limit (35mph) and a lady jerks her front end into my lane with 0 warning.
I stab the brakes and she misses my front end by inches. I pull into the speedway to scale and notice the bulge in my trailer nose. They all slid forward about 10inches and pushed the front of the trailer out.
1.)Is this going to show up on my DAC? 2.)Is the load shift considered preventable even tho I was essentially brake checked?
Just to be clear if this goes on my DAC and they don’t fire me I’m telling the company I won’t accept anymore loads that should be loaded on a flatbed.
Dry Van:
A trailer or truck that that requires no special attention, such as refrigeration, that hauls regular palletted, boxed, or floor-loaded freight. The most common type of trailer in trucking.DAC:
