Ticket For Turning From A Straight Traveling Lane
Topic 19031 | Page 1
Whether or not it shows up on your dac or not, I don't know...although I wouldn't think so since that's more of a company thing. It will show up on your driving record though, so try to get it reduced to something less if possible-- always always fight your tickets.
As far as how it affects the hiring process, you'll just have to be upfront and honest with the new employer about it. It sucks because they may turn you down, but if you don't tell them they'll find out later. It doesn't show up on your driving record until after the court date, so you could actually hide it from the new employer and get hired, but you run a high risk of being terminated later when they do find out. Not a chance I would take.
I actually had the same thing happen to me a year or so ago. Applied for FedEx and was all but hired when I got a ticket. The day my new manager called to officially offer me the job, I had to tell him about the citation. Unfortunately in my case, I had one too many tickets and they couldn't hire me.
Good luck
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.
It will show up on your driving record. But as pianoman said , if you can attend court or hire a lawyer to fight it then do so. Those things stay on your record for 5 years. A lot of smaller companies are tightening their hiring prices for people with tickets. fight it

If you beat the ticket there is nothing to show up on your driving record. If you get it reduced to anything it will show up on your driving record. It is in your best interest to disclose the ticket to any company you apply for. Just be honest and tell them you will be fighting the ticket. Good luck.
