Any advice?

I'd just consider it a lesson learned and revamp your background check processes, etc. Don't let accountability be your kryptonite. All the Best

 

Did you call the state police and make a complaint, or did you just mention it to someone?

I am hard on you because it is YOUR JOB to stop this from happening, the regulations are clear that YOU are responsible.

It isn't hard to confirm the MVR; we pull them ourselves because of this problem, and we do not depend on the driver. We also copy the license front and back, and if it looks like it is altered, then the cops are called.

 

Curious if you used e-verify?

 

So did you run his mvr prior to hiring him?

 

I don't think you are getting what I am saying, so I would suggest you talk to your lawyer to get a hiring system in place so it can meet all the regulations and protect you from legal actions against you for hiring another driver.

 

Hi, I'd like apologize for some of the commenters here, everybody an expert on this site, and "advice" can be on all ends of the spectrum. Not bad advice, just when asking a question like this, you will get 3 pages of replies, some pertinent, some, like me, don't know their aXX from 3rd base. I think you found out just who is out there driving our trucks today. I witnessed an accident with a truck, turns out, the driver had NO CDL, or logs of any kind.The company denied knowing about it, but I'm sure THAT driver went someplace else. There was a time, a time most here herald from, you could literally hire just about anyone, with good results. Today, trucking has become the "last game in town", and companies are hiring felons for heavens sake, something expressly forbidden years ago, now seemingly okay. I will agree with most here, if you are hiring a driver, you MUST be diligent in checking everything, and go with a current drivers reference for someone, but if you drag anyone in, be ready for disappointment. Best of luck, I think you did enough.
