    I want to report a south florida based company which is running there drivers past the hours of service and telling drivers to modify paper logs in order to comply. I worked for them almost a yesr I never complied and went past my hours many times and filled out driver logs without modifiying them and turned them in this way I have copys or all logs my question is can a company be reported for such practices besides the fact that over a 12 month period I had close to $2k shorted in miles from me.



    ive been trying to get a direct number of some sort in order to report but I keep getting people on the other end of the line that don't know what I am talking about GO FIGURE lol ...... how can I get a complaint in regarding DRIVERS HOURS OF SERVICE ABUSE? I really want to do this as its unsafe id run close to 1500 miles in a week within the STate of FL load and unload trailer as well.




    a simple telephone number will help I just want to whistle blow.

    if you do that and happen to be in an illegal position due to company pressure you take the fall.
    If you file a report with the FMCSA they come in and audit the company ( not revealing the driver that filed the complaint) and the company is held responsible . If the evidence is bad enough the shut the company down until it comes back into Compliance.
