Another conundrum that I feel, needs a BUMP. So much to learn in here.
Persian Conversion wasn't the 'only' rollover that shared. I'd missed this one, in the past.
BUMP......

Please advise... Sean
Owner Operator:
An owner-operator is a driver who either owns or leases the truck they are driving. A self-employed driver.
DAC:
Drive-A-Check Report
A truck drivers DAC report will contain detailed information about their job history of the last 10 years as a CDL driver (as required by the DOT).
It may also contain your criminal history, drug test results, DOT infractions and accident history. The program is strictly voluntary from a company standpoint, but most of the medium-to-large carriers will participate.
Most trucking companies use DAC reports as part of their hiring and background check process. It is extremely important that drivers verify that the information contained in it is correct, and have it fixed if it's not.
