Had one a few days ago that made me shake my head. Stopped a driver for speeding, 20 over. Get the drivers log and just browsing through it I see where he had been 300 miles but logged in sleeper. No co-driver listed, no one else in truck. Driver tells me he had dropped go driver off a few miles back, but had his log book. The driver was 3 days back on the book anyway, but he had his handwriting in both books. After calling him out on it, he tells me he was running 2 books, one in someone else's name and one in his name. Tags were dead on the truck. Truck and trailer needed 4 tires between them. Needed brake shoes, brakes adjusted and had no trailer lights. Also found a prior inspection from another State that occurred 4 days prior during the time he logged "himself" off duty and mystery driver driving. The other inspection did not show a co-driver either. Run the driver's license and learn he was suspended in 3 State's. You almost have to try to screw up that much.

WOW!

I see a whole lot of walking shoes in that driver's future.

All tho like you said he doesn't care, will probably keep driving.... dangerously.

How bad was the fines? 4 figures or 5?

You don't have to it wasn't you. I'm sure the compliance review will be kind to his carrier.
