Driver lost his license

What state are you in?

 

I think the question is: do you really want someone that irresponsible driving a truck?

 

^^^^^^^A pattern is showing. He was about to self destruct. It could have easily been in your rig.You guys may have dodged a bullet. If he had screwed up in your truck, it may have tanked your small company. Find another driver and consider yourself lucky.

I spoke to a driver once. He was driving flat for CRST. He had driven for decades for a smaller company that had a driver self destruct. He has improperly secured a machine to the truck and it fell off, and the driver kept going, dragging the machine until the cops pulled him. The insurance became so so high that the owner called his drivers in and told them that he would have to shut the doors.

 

With over 350,000 trucking companies in the USA, what he did or something similar, isn't uncommon.
He can find a job after he gets his CDL again, but he won't like it.

 

Don't know what would happen if insurance found out. If I were insurance, I would never insure him again.

 

Ive lost my license a few times while on the road.Its not a big deal if you do this immediately,call your company then they'll fax you a copy of your license.You hang on to that till you get home.Get another duplicate license from the DMV which will probably be paper till the plastic one arrives in the mail.You give that paper license to safety at your company so they can make a copy,then once the plastic arrives you do the same thing.Your buddy got scared and look what happened.
