    I've driven FOR 6 different companies in 10yrs. The last 5 I've had my own truck, so I only count myself as employer though I was leased to 2 different companies before becoming independent.

    1) Stealing pay
    2) Forced/asked to drive illegal
    3) Told to drive unsafe equipment

    All 3 are 'leave ASAP' scenarios for me. As in as soon as the truck reaches the yard.

    I had a company fire me when I said no to number 3. Costly mistake for them.
