No, it would not. Insurance companies don't cover illegal operations. Both commercial and personal.
Let your registration lapse on your personal vehicle and your insurance becomes void as well.
It's standard boilerplate in the legal agreement. Read it, all of it. Carefully and watching out for weasel wording.

There's a difference between expired registration and revoked. (This outfit's authority has been revoked.) Here's from carinsurance.com http://www.carinsurance.com/kb/does-expired-registration-void-policy.aspx
Dunno. Inquiring minds--
We know insurance name, for giggles could call them up on Monday...
... find out if revoked authority voids insurance.Last edited: Nov 15, 2014

In my mind, if you have no insurance, or are doing something you are not covered for in the event you cost someone else injury or property damage, then you have zero business being on the road.joseph1135 Thanks this. -
If you have only liability, that's for the OTHER party's damage, not yours, anyway. That stays in effect even if you're DUI/DWI according to autoinsurance.org http://www.autoinsurance.org/will-auto-insurance-pay-for-a-car-accident-while-dui-or-dwi/

It is quite simple, you want your own numbers you play with the same rules as the big boys, no excuses. If the truck was working he was violating a OOS which can cost $2500 a day.
Turn him in, he ain't making any money any way, probably running for some cut rate broker, who should get nailed for using a non legal carrier. -
Probably won't matter unless driver 1) goes through a scale overweight, or 2) has some really obvious equipment issue, or 3) has some other driving violation/mishap, or 4) gets very, very unlucky.
We have the DOT's and the State Patrols way, way outnumbered.
Balakov did right thing by informing the truck. It's up to them now, whether to get rid of load ASAP if truck is loaded. Outfit hasn't had a wreck... yet. My bet is if they answer phone on Monday will have a long litany of how O/O's they hired screwed them or drivers they hired screwed them.
A while back called a small outfit, asked for DOT number, ran it and was really, really bad. Told him. He went into long tirade about drivers. Sorry, guy, with that CSA, couldn't consider working for you no matter how bad you think your drivers did you. He was still ranting on when I rang off... -
So who died and left all you do gooders in charge...let the worthless cops figure it out....god help us all
-
I actually told him/his Co Driver or whatever just in case he didn't know.
I didn't tell him to be nice it just turned out that way.
Really I didn't know who to contact.
Next time I will.
This isn't... Well this guy was driving 80 in a 55.
Or he ran a stop sign -
At least until he received an inspection, some possible citations, and was able to lease on to a carrier with current authority.Balakov100 Thanks this.
