Turns out this outfit hasn't registered its trailers in over two years! Can I sue?

Because guess how I found out?

I wish finding out your employer was criminally negligent enabled you to collect unemployment.

Hopefully they'll pay the ticket but it's gonna be on MY CSA!!!

Arrrrggghhh!!

Time to run screaming from this outfit or what?

 

Yeah prior employers used permanent tags. So dumb me didn't think to check.

At this point, who knows? maybe they're even stolen! Anyone wanna run a VIN?

The reason I'm considering legal action (and this is only as a last resort, doesn't hurt to plan for worst case scenario) is a guilty plea (paying the fine) would still go against my personal CSA, and would be detrimental to me leaving the company. in short, their negligence has put my well being at risk. (It's a stretch, but I've seen crazier litigation)

For you legal beagles it's PA title 75 section 1301 sub sec A

Also it's a postal trailer so it might be exempt (?) I've heard that from other sources. But exactly who owns it is unclear (especially since it hasn't been registered since 2013!)

If nothing else at least let this serve as a reminder to check you papers and permits! I can't tell you how often this stuff is overlooked, especially at the megas.

 

Might have an out here:

I have 48 hours to submit proper paperwork to the authorities. If it's in somebody's file cabinet somewhere and I can produce it. I might not be in trouble.
