Overweight questions

well if it were me
I am the only one in charge of my own destiny
no matter what any one else is suppose to or should do
ignore it and reap the consequences of your inaction

 

Apparently you didn't pay the fine.He may have taken money but if you're getting a court appearance ticket it was never paid.Do what you got to do but failure to appear could be a bad decision one way or another.You could go and try and fight it or get it reduced and then go after the owner operator for back pay

 

There will be a warrant issued out on you. Also your license might get suspened..
You might wanna pay the ticket. You ld. the ld. You better weigh.. Been there done that. Got Speedy Bail bonds on speed dial also

 

I would pay it or go to court failing to do so would probably mean having your license suspended keep your proof of payment and your old check stubs showing you paid it already call the department of labor and report not getting your last checks and then sue for the overweight ticket.

 

When you got the notice to appear there was probably a phone number on it.

Call the court and make arrangements to pay the ticket.

It was issued to you and you are the one they are going after.

If you do not take care of this your license will be suspended in that state.

They quicker you get this behind you the better off you will be.

I know you are going to tell me your past boss should have paid it. But, he did not do it. Now you have to pay it.

 

This is a joke right? You got the ticket. Pay it. What minimum wage company do you work for now?

 

He does not currently work for the same company.

He will have consiquences if he does not address the ticket.

He has three choices,

1. Pay the ticket.

2. Appear in court.

3. Do nothing.

If he was truly guilty of being overweight I say pay the fine and not risk a warrant or suspension.

 

You asked for advise and it was given.You not going back and not paying means suspended license or worse a warrant issued for your arrest.You think you don't have the money now wait til when your out of a job with a suspended CDL and then trying to find another driving job and explaining that away.Should the drivers be blamed for stuff?No but we do and that's life.You get much detention pay?Of course not because shippers won't pay so do you really believe when they say they'll pay overweight fines.

If you have nothing in writing and YOUR name is on the ticket then you are responsible for any and all fines so have no idea why the O/O took money from your check since you would have needed to pay the ticket.Again the best course of action is to pay the fine and then persue action against the company and O/O for reimbursement.If you decide to not go to court remember you are to blame for the consequences
