What is a DAC report & what's on it? When someone says “DAC Report” it can mean several different reports either stored or obtained by HireRite (formerly called DAC Services). Most companies consider the “DAC Report” to be the employment history information stored at HireRite by former employers. We’ll go over the categories to be found in that report later. First though, be aware that HireRite also obtains (and reports) other information that may not be on your employment history “DAC Report.” This information includes:
• Driving Records (MVRs) • Criminal Records (Three part series) found here • “CDLIS” Reports • Social Security Number Screen • Workers Compensation History Reports (from some states) • Credit Checks (primarily for owner operators)
The above information is obtained by HireRite and outside of some criminal records, is not proprietary—other companies obtain the same information. The main type of information HireRite has that others don't is employment history information submitted by motor carriers the "DAC Report". (If you believe there is some wrong information on your DAC report, you may obtain a free DAC report, MVR, Criminal Record/Infraction database scan and other information potential employers will see by mail by calling HireRite at 1-800-381-0645 or clicking here)
The DAC Report employment history report contains the following categories of information:
1. Identification of Driver. (Name, SSN, DOB) 2. Identification of Contributing company (Address and phone number) and date contributed 3. Period of Service (Month/year) 4. License Number 5. Eligibility for rehire 6. Reason for leaving (e.g., driver quit or discharge, etc.) 7. Status (e.g., owner operator, company driver, etc.) 8. Driver Experience (e.g., single driver, team, etc.) 9. Equipment Operated (e.g., reefer, dry box, etc) 10. Loads Hauled (e.g., general commodity, etc) 11. Work Record (e.g., satisfactory, cargo loss, etc.)
A separate section of the report contains accident/incident information. It is divided into DOT recordable and non-DOT recordable information. DOT recordable records contributed by employers will contain accident details as stored in the accident register. Non-DOT recordable accidents may contain details (date, short description, etc) if provided by the past employer.
It will also be indicated whether this particular company stored DOT drug and alcohol testing information with HireRite. If the information is stored, the potential employer must send a written release to HireRite to get the actual drug and alcohol results.
Time Periods
All of the above information may be found on a DAC employment history, but every report may not contain all the information. There are time periods beyond which, the information “drops off.”
• Three Years – Drug and alcohol information • Seven Years – Categories of information that could contain derogatory information. • Ten years – The entire employment history record.
