I have a question. We all know trucking companies will lie on our DAC reports. Is there anything we can do about this? US Xpress for instance put “Safety concern” on my DAC for no reason. I had no accidents or tickets in the last five years. I was praised by the safety office before Swift bought US Xpress for avoiding a couple of accidents. Then this new guy starts watching me every day, micro-managing and saying every single thing is a dangerous situation. Like normal traffic, nothing happening, no one close to me. Just utterly ridiculous.
I know that companies will fire a bunch of people when they are bought or merge, this happened when Covenant bought SRT, Star, and, LandAir. They fired like 400 people immediately, then started picking the rest of us off for policy violations which we didn’t even know about. So I knew it might be coming, but why lie on my DAC? Companies are telling me they can’t hire me bc of this comment. Isn’t this libel? I do not use my phone when driving, or drive distracted, I pay attention. I am wondering if we truck drivers could do a class action suit against companies who regularly lie on peoples Dac? This is supposed to be information about a drivers performance but they put whatever they want on there, and they use it to be petty. I mean this certainly is libel at least right?
