Should I Check DAC Or CSA?
Topic 34811 | Page 1
It won’t appear on your csa score since you were not issued a citation by LE. Reporting to DAC is totally up to the company. Alot of companies don’t use DAC reports at all.
If they said they weren’t going to report it then I wouldn’t worry about it.
What I would worry about is what other companies will say your applying to.
CSA:
Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA)
The CSA is a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) initiative to improve large truck and bus safety and ultimately reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities that are related to commercial motor vehicle
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.

TT On Facebook
I got terminated Tuesday for touching my cellphone more than once while it was in the cradle.
Now I know I should have pulled over but I was using my headset. I tapped the phone to make a call. There were several extension prompts (you know, push 1 for English and if you know your parties extension yada yada )
The video shows me touching the screen and then putting my hand back on the wheel each time. (3 exactly) Obviously, I didn't wait enough time for the camera to register before retouching the screen.
How long before this appears on my CSA or my DAC?
I don't want to buy one if it's too soon to show up.
The company claims it's only an internal violation and they aren't reporting it. Not sure I believe that being it was grounds for termination.
