You can order a criminal background check on the internet or go to your local police station or sheriff's office. It usually only takes a few minutes and isn't very expensive. You can sometimes order a local, state or national criminal check. It should not cost more than $10-15 when you go to your local police station. I believe those on the internet run about $39. In Deleware its $45 and you just need your license as proof of ID it is done through the State Troopers Office

I found a agency "USIS" That seems to be the company that the large carriers send there requests for DAC's. We as consumers can order a free copy of ours every 12 months for free. Also you can check your criminal, DMV and credit. Here's the link and the pdf file for the form:

or go to the local post office. If they have a picture on the wall of you. You are bad. If not you are good. Don't make this any more complicated than it already is.

probably both. I am just guessing. those things have a way of ruining a driving career. and if it can send you to jail, it is probably a criminal offense as well. I am just guessing though. I am no doctor.

But I like the check the post office wall for your status of good or bad. I'm good, no pics!!! What a relief. That was keeping me up at night. I thought I was going to have to take a lie detector test on television to find out the real truth. :shock: :shock:

Criminal history is larceny from an auto 1974 and reckless discharge of a firearm 1990 both misdemeanors.
How far do the carriers check back. Most of these offenses are 30 years or older. Should I tell them about the old ones when they ask? I'm 54 with a good 30 yr. work record. Your answers are greatly appreciated, Mark Mark
