DISCLOSURE
Consumer Reports
As a part of an employment process, the U.S. Department of Transportation requires carriers to investigate your background. As part of this investigation, carriers may obtain consumer reports about you from one or more private consumer reporting agencies, such as the USIS Commercial Services (formerly known as a "DAC report"). The investigation may include, but not be limited to, information pertaining to employment verification, work experience, safety performance history, educational records, criminal records checks, criminal and civil litigation history, personal interviews, accidents, professional credentials, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, drug and alcohol testing, and all driving records and previous requests for driving records, workers compensation claims, and relevant records from federal, state and other agencies ("Investigation").
Under the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, you have a right to know what is in your consumer report. You have the right to make a request to a consumer reporting agency, upon proper identification, to request the nature and substance of all information in the files of a consumer reporting agency on you at the time of your request, including the sources of information and the recipients of any reports on you that a consumer reporting agency has previously furnished within the two-year period preceding your request. USIS may be contacted by mail at P.O. Box 33181, Tulsa, Oklahoma, 74153 or by phone at (800) 381-0645.
Anyone who uses information contained in a consumer report to deny your application for employment must tell you. They must also provide you with the name, address and phone number of the agency which provided the information and inform you of your right to obtain a free copy of your credit report, which is available to you for a sixty (60) day period. The consumer reporting agency does not make decisions regarding your employment and is unable to provide you with the specific reasons why an adverse action was taken. However, you have the right to dispute any incomplete or inaccurate information that is contained in your consumer report.
If a carrier does not use a consumer reporting agency or a consumer reporting agency does not have complete background information on you to provide to a carrier for employment purposes, a carrier may conduct their own Investigation, as described above.
California: Under section 1786.22 of the California Civil Code, you may view the file maintained on you by a consumer reporting agency during normal business hours. You may also obtain a copy of this file, upon submitting proper identification and paying the costs of duplication services, by appearing at a consumer reporting agency’s offices in person, during normal business hours an on reasonable notice, or by mail. You may also receive a summary of the file by telephone, upon submitting proper identification. The consumer reporting agency has trained personnel available to explain your file to you, including any coded information. If you appear in person, you may be accompanied by one other person, provided that person furnishes proper identification.
New York: You have the right, upon request, to be informed of whether or not a consumer report was requested. If a consumer report is requested, you will be provided with the name and address of the consumer reporting agency furnishing the report. You may inspect and receive a copy of the report by contacting that agency.
Maine: You have the right, upon request, to be informed of whether an investigative consumer report was requested, and if one was requested, the name and address of the consumer reporting agency furnishing the report. You may request and receive from the consumer reporting agency, within five business days of receipt of your request, the name, address and telephone number of the nearest unit designated to handle inquires for the consumer reporting agency issuing an investigative consumer report concerning you. You also have the right, under Maine law, to request and promptly receive from all such agencies copies of any such reports.
Washington: If an investigative consumer report is requested on you, you have the right, upon written request made within a reasonable period of time after your receipt of this disclosure, to receive a complete and accurate disclosure of the nature and scope of the investigation requested. You also have the right to request from the consumer reporting agency a written summary of your rights and remedies under the Washington Fair Credit Reporting Act.
AUTHORIZATION and RELEASE
By submitting my application to TruckJobSeekers.com, I certify that I personally completed this application and that all information provided is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
I authorize the carriers I have identified on my TruckJobSeekers.com application ("Carriers") to do a complete background investigation on me for employment purposes, in accordance with state and federal laws. I understand and agree that this investigation may be conducted by a consumer reporting agency or by a Carrier (or both) and include but not necessarily be limited to, information pertaining to employment verification, work experience, safety performance history, educational records, criminal records checks, criminal and civil litigation history, personal interviews, accidents, professional credentials, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, drug and alcohol testing, and all driving records and previous requests for driving records, workers compensation claims, and relevant records from federal, state and other agencies ("Investigation").
I authorize and give permission to the Carriers to obtain one or more reports regarding my driving, and safety inspection history from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Any decision they make not to hire me based on information contained in your FMCSA reports will be their decision alone. I authorize Carrier Companies and their agents or contractors to access the FMCSA Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) system to seek information regarding my commercial driving safety record and information regarding my safety inspection history. I understand that I am consenting to the release of safety performance information, including without limitation crash data from the previous five (5) years and inspection history from the previous three (3) years. I understand and acknowledge that this release of information may assist Prospective Employers in making a determination regarding my suitability as an employee. I further understand that neither the Prospective Employers nor the FMCSA contractor supplying the crash and safety information has the capability to correct any safety data that appears to be incorrect. I understand I may challenge the accuracy of the data by submitting a request to https://dataqs.fmcsa.dot.gov. If I am challenging crash or inspection information reported by a State, FMCSA cannot change or correct this data. I understand my request will be forwarded by the DataQs system to the appropriate State for adjudication.
I authorize and give permission to the Carriers to obtain consumer reports about me from a consumer reporting agency, including but not limited to the USIS. I authorize the release of information to Carriers from my DOT required drug and/or alcohol testing records (including refusals to be tested), within the past three years, for all jobs that were designated as a safety sensitive function, as required by federal law. This is also in accordance with provisions of 49CFR Part 382.405 and 382.413.
I authorize USIS (or another consumer reporting agency) to disclose all information in its possession to a requesting Carrier for the purpose of making a determination as to my eligibility for employment, promotion or any other lawful purpose. I agree that such information which a consumer reporting agency has or obtains, and my employment history if I am hired, may be supplied by a consumer reporting agency to other companies that subscribe to the consumer reporting agency. If hired or contracted, this authorization shall remain on file and shall serve as ongoing authorization for the procurement of consumer reports at any time during my employment or contract period.
By affixing my electronic signature, I certify that I have read and fully understand this Disclosure, Authorization and Release and, in addition to all the provisions set forth herein and prior to consenting to its terms, I understand that:
