Legal Advice please

First take care of ur driving privilegies(pay the ticket and reinstein ur driving privilegies)and explain what happend,second go to ur last company and kick ur ex boss ### for not taking care of that ####,is just ######## but u dont have to believe everything they tell u,we are the only ones responsibles for our own license nobody else,just for future reference dont trust nobody period,and take care urself.

 

I agree with Dave on this. NEVER expect a company to pay your tickets in time. Never take freight that will earn a ticket, even if the dispatcher or the boss say they will pay the ticket. Never turn over the ticket to the company and trust them to pay it on time. You're lucky you didn't get stopped for some small thing at a scale house and go to jail. That happened to one of our temp drivers. He was stopped for a minor speeding ticket, and went to jail for driving on a suspended license because his past company didn't pay a prior small weight ticket.

If a driver's current company is decent they will pay you in your next paycheck. If I got a company-inspired ticket I would give them 7-14 days to pay me, and I would immediately pay the ticket out of my own checking account. That ticket is nothing to the company, it's a job to you.

You also want to keep proof you paid any tickets permanently.

 

That's the whole story in a nutshell.

 

Go off Grid now, Wander around the south west. Sit at a corner with a sign saying "Homeless need Cash or food" You should do just fine. Just Kidding, But.. I have an Old friend who is doing that now and doing quite well.
Call the court find out what you need to do to get that thing reinstated, and do it. Otherwise, You might have to take the first option here.

 

Why does everybody holler lawyer so quick?...Pay the fine to clear & renew your CDL...Then sue the Company in small claims court yourself ( no Lawyer needed) to get your $ back

 

Agreed, get the credentials in order pronto.....then small claims your previous carrier. He likely won't show and you'll win by default......

He asked for legal advice...the only person qualified to give legal advice is a lawyer.

 

On the other hand he asked in truckers trucking forum....

 

^ Yes he did, and his legal advice here will be worth exactly what he paid for it.

 

Truckers are lousy Lawyers and Lawyers are lousy Truckers.
