It’s the drivers fault
even if the driver has the dispatcher in writing in email or text or Qualcomm telling the driver to go PC and finish the run it’s still the drivers fault .
Unless the dispatcher was able to log in remotely and change it without the drivers permission or knowledge .AModelCat, bryan21384 and Big Road Skateboard Thank this. -
The driver. He's the one who chose to drive illegal.

Your Fault err.. I mean Driver's Fault
bryan21384 Thanks this. -
As mentioned, driver's fault 100%. A driver is 100% responsible for the legal and safe operation of a CMV. If a driver succumbs to the coercion of anyone to violate HOS rules, he is still 100% at fault. If someone talked you into robbing a bank and you get caught, you think you'll get anywhere with that excuse?
And, as a CDL holder, you are responsible for knowing and abiding by the HOS rules. Can't plead ignorance. So, no wiggle room on this.
My curiosity is wondering if a driver gets threatened to get fired unless they violate HOS rules to deliver a load. Driver refuses and gets fired. What recourse could the driver have (assume driver has actual documentation, such as copies of text messages, etc. So,that it is beyond he said she said)?GoneButNotForgotten, AModelCat, bryan21384 and 1 other person Thank this. -
