My former employer has reported to DAC services about a couple of accidents that happened using a spotter yard dog, which is a non-licensed vehicle.in my position as a spotter, I moved 100 semi-trailers per day, all the while getting calls from up to eight separate individuals to move even more trailers. This was a highly congested parking lot I was moving trailers in with frequent inbound, outbound, and pedestrian traffic. One of the accidents was due to another spotter not securing a trailer door, which is something impossible to see while in a spotter. The other accident occurred while coming around a corner, and the other spotter failed to yield, which should have been noted as his fault. I took full blame for this accident, but now regret not stating what "really happened". These accidents also were on company property. I have been driving tractor trailer for 6 years. My current driving record is clean. Due to this employment report, I have been unable to obtain employment as a driver. I have had two separate job offers from two companies, only to be denied when they received my DAC report, which shows these two incidents as "accidents". My MVR is completely clean, and I'm unable to comprehend how they can count against me in searching for employment, as I stated above, they occurred in an unlicensed vehicle on company (private) property. I now feel that I am "unemployable" in the tractor trailor world due to this negative report.
