Usis/dac is still at it. Poor Truckers.

That sort of accident happens to a lot of drivers, the street gets re-paved and the sign doesn't get changed right away. Who paid for the repairs? Was an insurance company involved? As for leaving the scene, if there was no damage to the bridge, you could have thought the trailer damage was minor, a couple hundred dollars(sheet metal patch pop rivets and caulk), below the threshold of a reportable accident. Was there a deductable that he might have wanted you to pay? Maybe if you offered to pay a couple hundred toward the deductable if he wipes the record clean it would be better for both of you. A lot of companies have a "your fired!" policy for topped trailers, or a policy of the deductable coming out of the drivers pay.

<quoted text>Drivers should always write a 'Rebuttal' and they have to post the rebuttal with the complaint the company wrote against you!!
If drivers don't rebutt what was said, that's taken as it's true and you agree with what's there.

So,What do you do about a state that practices unfair/discriminate reporting on your criminal record? In the state of north Carolina a traffic ticket that is found DISMISSED or NOT GUILTY is put on your CRIMINAL record. the tickit will stay there for the rest of your life, if you had pled guilty to the ticket it would be off your MVR in three years. example: I have 12 tickets over my lifetime that I was not guilty of,I have 0 on my MVR now JB HUNT won't even hire me due to a "history of traffic violations" USIS doe's not weed these dismissed or out dated things off your report! SO BEWARE there my be more on your DAC than you think. I would like to know how many other states do this.

<quoted text>actually let me let you onlittle secret.You can sue your company and let me explain how.First off go to your local court where you live and file a slander lawsuit in small claims court, It will cost you no more than 30 dependg on the state you live .As you all know usis is governed by the same people who govern the regulations of credit bureaus, experian Equifax and transunion. what you do is write a letter to the attorney general in the city of the company you worked for and file a complaint and mention the slander and by law the attorney general has to investigate it,Second, back to the small claims suit,When you get your court date and you have sent notice to the company you are going to sue ,no matter where you live the company is required to show up and due to cost 9 out of 10 times they won't and this will result in a default and the company will be required to remove what they said about you and you may gain some damages.I really get tired of the garbage out here being spread that you need an attorney! No you don't ! I fix credit reports in my spare time and one of the misconceptions there is that you need a expert to fix your credit report which is untrue!The regulations specifically state that anything put on your dac report or credit report must be 100% accurate or it must be removed meaning if a company says you quit under a load theirs technically no way to prove this and it will have to be removed because a trucking company will not spend 750$ to even investigate this but this is stuff that most drivers don't knw!I went from having 2 bankruptcies and a repo and 25 collections years ago on my credit report to having a 775 crdit score because i made the credit laws work in my favor.On a simple collection thru a credit bureau for it to legally stick on your credit report for instance is from the moment you dispute it thru the credit companies the bureau must investigate if it's accurate which they don't unless you know your stuff and make them but in the legal scheme of things the creditor who you owe must show proof of the debt etc which most never have and the same thing works for trucking companies as many of the false amd misleading things they say can never be 100% proved.I don't charge anything i just want to let every trucker out there know that dac isn't so big and bad when you know what their regulations are and how you can beat them.If anyone needs assistance with how to go about getting a company to remove negative stuff ,give me a shout via email at cameron_shelton@comcast.net
