US XPRESS LIED TO DAC ABOUT NON PREV ACCIDENT SAYING WAS PREVENTABLE ripoff CHATTANOOGA Tennessee
ok first off back in oct 2005 i had an accident while i was driving with US. i had another tractor trailer cut me off. i was forced to hit my brakes and swerve off the lane of travel. i ended up hitting a gaurd rail in order to avoid a rear end collision with the other truck. no damage was done to the truck. i was told to go to the hospital by EMT s to get my hand checked as i had sprained it.
so the truck had to be towed as US had no other driver to come get it. the state police checked my log book and all checked out good. also he said i was not at fault and it was a NON-REPORTABLE/NON-CITABLE OFFENSE. so my MVR is clear but my DAC is another story. US Xpress put me down as a preventable accident with injury and DOT REPORTABLE. not many other companies will hire me because of US false reporting. it was non prev. how can the people at US tell if it was prev or non prev. they werent driving the d**n truck. also they said they terminated in jan 2006. dont see how they could if i resigned after the accident.
sounds like i pissed someone off at US and they want to get back at me. i have found a company that has accepted my app because US lied to their safety dept. so hahahahahahhah US Xpress and its flatbed and pays more too.
anyway anyone going to drive for this company DONT AND I REPEAT DONT GET IN AN ACCIDENT. they will give false info to DAC and dont try to call DAC to dispute it. you cant reach a live person EVER. ive left 5 voicemails and still no call back US wont dispute it cause it costs them money d**n cheapskates.
good luck to all u suckers that get shafted my US Xpress hope u like kissing a**.

1st how do you "ended up hitting a gaurd rail" and "no damage was done to the truck"??
just don't see how you could do that.
2nd within 2 weeks after you had the accident you got a letter from safety saying it was "preventable" did you fight it? or did you just say "who cares i quit anyway"?
if you didn't fight it and "i was told to go to the hospital by EMT s to get my hand checked as i had sprained it" then THAY would be right in saying it was "a preventable accident with injury"
you didn't fight the preventable and you did have an injury right.!
not saying it is right but if you don't cover YOUR a$$ by doing things the right way THEN why are YOU mad NOW?

Ryan,
Before you can dispute anything or add a statement, you need to have a current copy of your report.
You can get one free report per year or whenever you have been denied employment because of the report. You will need the report number to do a dispute and add a statement.
Make a copy of your driver's license and social security card when making your request in writing for your report. Be sure to tell them you have been denied employment based on the contents of the DAC report.

Ryan,
DAC/USIS is bound by the same federal laws that the credit reporting agencies must follow, and you have the same right to dispute and add your 100 word or less statement to your file.
You also have the right to demand copies of all communications used in the investigation of your dispute.
This is all spelled out in the FCRA.
Be sure to stay off the phone. Do everything by certified mail, return reciept requested. Be sure to always put the certified# on the letter itself and keep a copy for your records. This step is very important.
You have a right to sue for inaccurate information being placed on or kept on your report. You can sue both parties in small claims court for up to $1000 in punitive damages and actual costs as well as actual losses.
DAC/USIS is an arrogant bunch of lowlife, and they have a seriously flawed system.
I would sue them today.
