Who Is At Fault ??????

sorry to say if he is driving and someone else left it in there its still his butt that will get in trouble for it..thats just the way it is

 

The prosecutor will be quick to remind you that you are charged with possession, not ownership.

 

Thats why i would never want anyone else driving my truck while i was on home time or vacation, you never know what someone might leave in your truck.

Electric Cowboy:
Your friend needs to look through the truck each time this
happens, but tell your friend do not touch the bottle, bag, ect. If your
friend has to remove the drugs, ware a pair of gloves.

If drugs are found before your friend leaves on the road, then let a company person remove it. If it is found out on the road by DOT, then have friend deny its his/her and if friend goes to court request a fingerprint test on the drugs to prove its not your friends. It would also help to maybe get a letter signed from his company before hand that he is being slip seated from truck to truck, if your friend can get one. Also in court your friend needs his/her lawyer to find out who drove the truck before him/her and have them investigated.

 

That's what I would do. I'd just packed all the stuff up and leave it with the terminal. I wouldn't say what's in it but just tell them someone left all this stuff in the truck.


It might get real hard to get a letter so the best thing you could do there is write it up yourself and ask if they would sign it. You should have the post trip inspection form there in the cab so you have who drove the truck last. If it's LTL then there could be more than one driver in your cab during the day depending how the company works. And way you look at it you'll want some type of proof that you were not the last driver and the PTI would work fine.
