Drug Testing
Topic 19992 | Page 1
NOTHING goes on your MVR , and nothing goes on your DAC - unless you fail a test - and even that doesn't go on your MVR.
At 11+ months clean - you should be good to go on any urine or hair at this point.
We usually recommend at least 6 months (even though they're only supposed to be looking at the previous 3).
You should be good to go...

MVR:
Motor Vehicle Record
An MVR is a report of your driving history, as reported from your state Department of Motor Vehicles. Information on this report may include Drivers License information, point history, violations, convictions, and license status on your driving record.
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.
Thanks so much for the reply. I'm just very nervous about it, I would hate to ruin my career over something so stupid.

TT On Facebook
I started driving 9 months ago and a couple months before that I quit smoking pot. I've been applying to a lot of places but I've turned down jobs that do hair tests because I've heard they can go back over a year depending on the test used. Would the people I've applied to and turned the jobs down for be able to report that on my MVR?
