Aubrey "Allen" Smith, founder of Truth About Trucking, LLC , the trucking blog, askthetrucker.com and host of Blog Talk Radio's: Truth About Trucking "LIVE", is preparing to submit a letter of proposal to Congress requesting an investigation into the practices of the DAC Reporting Services, located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The DAC Report has long been an avenue in which many trucking companies utilize in order to falsely accuse a driver for incidents or acts that never occurred. Countless professional drivers have experienced their careers ruined by the abusive system.
The DAC reporting services of the USIS is regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) which is an American Federal law codified at 15 U.S.C. § 1681 that regulates the collection, dissemination, and use of consumer credit information, and aong with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), it forms the base of consumer credit rights in the United States.
Trucking companies knowingly and willfully submit false reports to the DAC Services against professional truck drivers for the sole purpose of ruining their careers. Furthermore, DAC will approve these false claims without any investigation or attempt in allowing the driver to respond. Although the driver can follow DAC's procedures for dispute, the ability to have the false accusations removed from their DAC report seldom occurs.
Truth About Trucking, LLC will soon submit a letter to the appropriate Senators and Congress members in order to bring this issue to the attention of legislators. They are asking for signatures to show support for this much needed legislation and to help STOP false DAC reporting against the nation's professional drivers.
