I don't think your DAC goes back more than a few years back. Pretty sure it will only show trucking companies that you worked for and if you had any incidents or accidents.
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.
The DAC employment report is a detailed summary of a trucker’s work history in the trucking industry. I wouldn't worry about it. Apply to companies just like you normally would. If they don't like something about it then they will either tell you or tell you that you aren't eligible. A blank DAC is better than a bad DAC. I don't think this will have any effect on you.

Thanx guys, I've heard a lot of drivers talk about their DAC over the years, so I was expecting something much more involved than what I got. I haven't changed jobs since 1996 or had an accident/incident for more 10 years, and I never failed a drug screen so I guess I should be happy it's blank instead of surprised by it.

I was never a job hopper or druggie so I never had reason to worry about my DAC report, now that I'm ready to get back into the Industry I went online and requested a copy of the report, I got it in the mail yesterday and opened it a few minutes ago and I was surprised to find..... NOTHING...seriously, the only information it contained was my name and the fact that my former employer as well as the school I'm going to, had requested the report also. nothing else! not one thing about work history, drug tests etc...silly me I thought it would actually have information in it, I knew i was being naive to expect a list of all the drug screens I passed over the years(I was convinced that the first company I worked for back in the late 80s/early90s sent me for so many"random"screenings because by law somebody had to go and they knew I was clean, I guess i was just being paranoid) but I thought it would at least show a minimal work history. Is this normal
