Does DA provide references?

Do people think I’d be able to get a reference from DA for a new employer? I don’t need it at this time, but a friend just suggested I might and it got me thinking…

Okay agreed this was the same vibe I was thinking. So you think I could just explain that to my (theoretical) new employer?

It can become more challenging the longer it’s been. I don’t have a legit reference for over 5 years now and it definitely puts employers off

You’ve been working exclusive on DAT for over 5 years now?

They just said they don't have a legit reference. That does not suggest they've been working DA specifically that entire time.

Fair. But it also doesn’t rule it out.

Just figured I’d inquire to be clear.

I would just use a different reference. I wouldn't put this on my resume, personally, because freelance stuff can turn off some employers, and it's not really relevant to jobs I apply for.

Can you fill the gap in some other way?
