How to Request Your DAC Report and Why It Matters for CDL Drivers
What Is a DAC Report?
A DAC Report (Drive-A-Check Report) is like a credit report for professional truck drivers. Maintained by HireRight, this report details your employment history, safety record, and job performance in the trucking industry. Most major carriers use it during the hiring process to determine if you’re a safe, reliable, and professional driver.
Why Is the DAC Report Important?
Your DAC Report can make or break your chances of getting hired. Here’s why it matters:
-
Verifies Employment History: Confirms where you’ve worked, your job titles, and durations.
-
Displays Safety Record: Lists DOT-reportable accidents, incidents, and violations.
-
Reveals Reliability: Shows termination reasons, gaps in employment, or issues like job abandonment.
-
Ensures Transparency: Reviewing your DAC lets you know what recruiters and carriers see—and fix any mistakes before they hurt your chances.

How Often Should You Check Your DAC Report?
You should request your DAC Report at least once a year to ensure all information is accurate—especially if you’re actively job hunting or switching carriers. Errors, if left uncorrected, can derail your job offers.
What If There’s an Error on Your DAC Report?
Mistakes happen, but they can hurt your chances of landing a job. If you spot an error:
1. File a Dispute with HireRight
-
Disputes can be filed online, by phone, or by mail.
-
Provide documentation supporting your claim.
-
HireRight is legally obligated to investigate within 30 days.
2. Contact the Reporting Carrier
If a former employer submitted false or misleading information, reach out to them directly. They may be able to issue a correction to HireRight.
Note: If the investigation proves your claim, HireRight must update or remove the incorrect information.
Conclusion
Your DAC Report is one of the most important tools in your trucking career. It tells carriers your employment story—good or bad. Staying on top of this report helps you protect your reputation, job eligibility, and future income.
Whether you’re a seasoned OTR driver or new to the industry, reviewing your DAC annually is a smart move.
