How do you report a company to DOT?

If I submit such letter, will my company know about it? that it was me?

If I told them, my company push(allow) drivers to run over logbook, can scales stops MY truck often than usual? I don't want extra attention to my person, only to my company.

 

You are protected under the Federal WHstleblower act, they wont know who tipped them off unless the letter is used in court proceedings

 

There is also a link on the FMCSA website where you can do it electronically. Been there done that with Nebraska DOT.However be ready to submit proof, i.e. pictures, log boooks, and supporting docs

 

Frankly I would trust the truckdrivers more than car drivers in a tight situation.... She needs to take this up with the town counsel at there next city meeting about getting the truck route relocated.

 

Also I your not a driver or a mechanic I doubt seriously if you kow what is or is not safe when seeing a piece of equipment roll by you on the highway.

 

If your operating the equipment or know who is just have em ease on through and park in the inspection bay at a weigh station,The rest should take care of itself!

 

not to defend the DOT man, but i think what they want is not to be used as some vendetta tool where someone has a gripe and they want to use DOT as revenge

honestly, as many times as i have had hard times in life, i dont ever seek vengeance against anyone or company

they will get theirs, one way or the other, i got a thing about tattle-telling, learned it as a child

 

I was responding to the question of operating bad equipment,I must have read it wrong,My bad I know if Im operating something questionable and I have brought to the appropriate people attention and I get stonewalled and told to run well then Its on me to solve the problem and I promise you the DOT man really dont care about you or your company Not the ones Ive dealt with,Especially California what a refreshing experience that is,Everytime your within a 100 miles of a weigh station you here nothing but hands freaking out,But I digress,Dangerous equipment is just like a drunk driver,They give the innocent no choice in whats about to happen!

 

If you believe the equipment to be unsafe, it's your responsibility to tell the company to either fix it before you'll move it...or find someone else to drive their junk.

The same would apply to dispatching practices...

 

soooooo,where does it stop,going around scales,driving to long or so you think,this is what trucking has come down to sad, very sad
