there is a trucking company in my area that runs with three of the six trucks with no registration tags, same three dont have side decals, they run dyed diesel, they cross the state line even though they run WD, they are class e drivers, one driver told me he was at twenty hours straight already that day. with them running dyed fuel and not paying any taxes they came in and undercut me, so ive gradually been losing my loads and they have gone from two trucks to six in the past three months. the company that we are both contracted too knows but they don't care cause it's cheaper for them. so my question is who can i report them to so that they will have to start running legitimate like everyone else? also have already told local DOT and they said they are short staffed and they need PC to do anything.
how to report trucking company running illegally?

If all of that is true, the local DOT is paid off.

Very easy to do, give better service and everything else will fall in place -
That dyed fuel is also a tax issue. Contact the department within the state that works with taxes. Document everything you do concerning this. OOIDA can also point you in the right direction.

Not sure where you are, But take it to your States Attorney General, They are the Governing Legal Representative of your state. You will be amazed if they find they have a real case!. They will get to the bottom of it.
Chinatown Thanks this. -
I thought you had to be a member to get them to do anything for you? I may be wrong!

They're running at in their tanks? If they're buying that from a confidence store or truckstop all you need to do is get a name, and call the state tax office that handles that and inform them on where they fuel. The truck stops and stores should have to keep a log of non taxable (off road) diesel purchases. That's all you have to do and the rest will all fall into place, DOT can then get involved. Honestly its hard to believed they don't want to go after that. Hell the fines alone would be enough to put them out of business for good.

I agree with Chinatown.. Contact state IRS...
While living in Arkansas, driving a back/farm road I was stopped in my personal vehicle at a road block..man wearing IRS vest approached my F250 with a clear plastic tube..explained that were checking for farm fuel, took a sample from tank..when no dye was noticed he returned fuel and sent me on my way..
Good luck -
