Beware crooked Mercer!

Way to go OP.....!!!! I hope you get what’s coming to you. So many times, people feel that going up against the big companies will end in their own demise. I’m glad to see you stand up for what you believe.

 

Subpoena is you must comply with a courts demand

 

I certainly appreciate the transparency of putting this out there. It is important that us driver's become more knowledgeable about our rights and the law.
I too have sued a mega company and have current cases that I am suing 2 different companies. It may not be a good idea to put this information out here until the case is over. Please keep us updated with the case but don't give them any room to use this forum to beat you over with.

 

Yup, they are certainly good for that.

 

You may not have said it but, you certainly implied it.

 

Tell that to a judge or magistrate and see how that works out for ya!
Subpoenas are ORDERS (or summonses) issued by government agencies which people/organizations are MANDATED to comply with or face punishment. In Mercer’s case,they’re looking at contempt of court and possibly any additional sanctions!

 

I would claim absolute immunity..........

 

They are most likely challenging the subpoena. There is no basis in law that the actual contract with a customer be made available to us. We are entitled to copies of freight bills and supporting documents such as rate confirmations with brokered freight, but not the actual contracts with the customer. This is all spelled out by the fmcsa in the truth in leasing regs.
