Do not work for woody bogler

The question is who is going to pay the fine? The driver or the company?

 

Depends on the situation for ag loads. I’ve had overweight tickets paid by the cattle buyer before, and I’ve paid a few. With a hopper and pneumatic I paid them because it was my choice and I wasn’t asked to load up. As a company driver with a flatbed I paid some and the company paid some. Now as a company driver hauling fuel I’d just pay it since my greed would be the reason for the ticket.

 

Ive done end dumps for years, we have 88K permits for Florida and Alabama, I’ll go to that but I’m not going over that, I don’t vibe with the “it’s all part of the game” approach, is your boss or company going to join the fun and games when god forbid a fatality accident occurs while you’re just “being part of the game”? Not a risk I’m willing to take, call me a wuss, take my cowboy cred away from me, but I stand firm in that belief and I’m not wet behind the ears when it comes to ag work.

 

If the company is willing to pay, its one thing. If they're expecting the driver to pay, its an entirely different horse. If they tell the driver "run illegal or be fired", we'll my friend, that's a platypus - something that shouldn't exist.
