How much would a company guy pay for a rollover??

It is very possible. One driver from Chicago area once told me that he was paid on 1099 and had two of his pay checks witheld by them as a security bond. I don't understand why IRS can't clean that 1099 mess. It should be a straightforward rule, if someone drives your truck you must pay him on W-2.

 

I’ve already made up my mind. If I ever have a rollover accident, or a major accident that’s my fault, that’s my sign to get out. Won’t matter if the company will keep me around or not. I’ll hang it up. But that’s just me. First trucking company I worked at Was pretty lenient on some of their drivers. Some of them had two or three major accidents, and they were still driving at the company. One guy in particular that I gave him a ride back to the yard. He was flying through a Walmart distribution center doing about 30 miles an hour hour, and slammed into a light pole that was out in the middle of a parking area with nothing else around it. When I picked him up, I just looked at him and said “how?“. I mean, how do you even hit something like that without seeing it. On the ride back he was sure they were going to fire him, he was on the phone to his wife saying he was going to need to look for a new job and a new career. The truck was totaled. They didn’t fire him. So you just never know. But if that were me, I would’ve called it a day and that would’ve been the end of my career just by my own personal choice.

 

I honestly don't know if they were given any citations, but I'd hazard a guess the one did. That said, depending on the circumstances I'd guess it would be up to the cop's discretion.

 

your probably right, but i have a Lot of Lawyers in my family, and i would ask them for advice, before i do anything. They will instruct me the best advice.

 

from what i get out of your saying is, " Thats never going to happen to me." I can see that. Ha ha Ha, You asked him " HOW", ha ha ha ha ha

 

Doesn’t matter if you hurt someone or not. You dozed off. You should know better and stop before you get to that point. I’ve read some of your other posts about there not being rumble strips on some roads and what not. Get that victim mentality out of your head and get with the program.

 

You could very likely get a ticket "Failed to reduce speed to avoid accident" or something similar, even if nobody else or none of their property were impacted by your rollover.
