This is one of the reasons the trucking industry is having problems. Drivers are tired of being asked to break the law. The consequences land on the driver and not the company.
It isn't fair to the driver and especially not the people injured when an accident happens.
- Spooky23 5y agoThe way motor carriers work is weird. Enforcement folks at the state and federal level sample for inspections based on company size, violation history, and areas of operating authority. Basically the best drivers will only work for the best carriers, but you need to work up. If you work for a shitty company and get inspected, you are sanctioned for mechanical problems, including things like ripped seats. (Funny, as police car seats are always torn up) Once you have those violations, you’re stuck working for shitty carriers. Long story short, stay away from old trucks at night, especially near state borders. Chances are they’re problematic.
