Trucker in fatal crash hid medical condition, a possible crime

Rest assured, the RMV is looking at his records right now.

 

They don't play up there, anless you know some one are they know your family like when I was 15 yes no DL and get pull over down the street from my uncle bakery off blue Hill Ave no DL OK I will be up there to talk with your uncle two bad he didn't know my uncle gave me the truck to drive lol

 

I thought if you moved freight that originated or ended in another state (country), whether you as driver crossed state lines or not, fell under the authority of the FMCSA. Therefore, most CDL drivers by default are under the thumb of the FMCSA. Technically, he could/should still face federal charges.

 

If you cross state line. You will answer to the feds ,if you stay in state and let say you pull hazmat you answer the epa-feds

 

Sadly, I've encountered several drivers on this forum who have encouraged other drivers to not reveal past histories, including medical issues, legal issues relevant to their hire-ability with new companies, etc.

I specifically remember a recent post where a new driver entrant had a current back injury lawsuit with a previous employer and was encouraged by several guys here not to say anything about the injury.

To which I was flabbergasted.

 

I haven't been in the transportation industry that long. However, I've already met plenty of drivers that prefer to do things illegally in the name of making "money". I'm sure it's not the norm but it is rampant.

 

What you hall a lot to do with what they get involved with but the feds over see everyone that run state driver and company

 

Well back in the days before CDL come about it was wild wild west some guys would have a license in every state and would do something that would make what you see today look like a joke so we push the government to put CDL an the books elogs we bring that an ourselves speedlimiters that they are trying to push is not the majority feds and the 62 miles an hrs truck is the problem in shool zone construction zone JB Hunt all day but when it counts you can not run but you getting speeding like a madman please

 

And sadly, at least in my mind, there are at least two of them, that other than this, give excellent advice.
