Commom Carrier Rules

Hello everyone,

My name is John. I work for a common carrier in South West Georgia, hauling gasoline. I recently observed a proprietary company loading his tanker for a customer that we usually service. My question: Is this not illegal? Also of concern. If I report it, and the customer finds out they will probably get another common carrier to haul their products.
Anyone have any light to shed on this.

Thanks,
John in Georgia.

 

Thank you for your response tank4life.
To clarify what exactly happened:
The carrier in question, we will call Hans' Foods, who has a Bulk Plant and about 5 or 6 bulk tankers and power units. Hans' foods a string of convenience stores as well. However, on the occasion in question. The Hans' Food tanker pulls into the Gasoline Terminal and lift Product off of another Franchise's account and delivers it to the store which i personally witnessed. My understanding is: If Hans' Foods had sold a load of gas to this franchise that he had in his bulk plant, then that would be perfectly Kosher. Or if If the load of gas had been billed to Hans' Foods and and then delivered to the other Franchise that too would have been Kosher. The fact is- Hans' Foods acted as a Common Carrier and lifted product from the Terminal from a supplier who has petroex accounts for it's customers to lift product from this terminal. This may not be illegal but there are certainly some liability issues for the all parties involved in this transaction.
