OOS in Florida- will other states know.

I've been put out of service twice. Once in Kinston, NC and once in Columbus GA. I Tore off the red sticker and left within 20min both times. I've crossed the tar heels scales and both GA scales. Never heard a word. You can always go around the scales if your a nervous wreck.

 

The penalties are getting kinda steep for that !!!

Plus they'll nail the company !!

 

I think it is a felony in Illinois to run off on a OOS. At least one officer told me that when I was OOS. I never tried him on it though.

There's a number of ways this can be detected . Add falsification of logs to cover it up and you're really gonna get fried. This will quickly be detected at an audit if they can use any type of GPS to track the truck or driver.

 

You haven't been convicted yet>how could it?

 

The OOS order was likely on a DOT Inspection. It will be in the data base as soon as the officer enters the report electronically. Any DOT doing another inspection will see it. Also shows up on your CSA 2010 record and provides points to your carrier.

Good Luck
