Had one a few days ago that made me shake my head. Stopped a driver for speeding, 20 over. Get the drivers log and just browsing through it I see where he had been 300 miles but logged in sleeper. No co-driver listed, no one else in truck. Driver tells me he had dropped go driver off a few miles back, but had his log book. The driver was 3 days back on the book anyway, but he had his handwriting in both books. After calling him out on it, he tells me he was running 2 books, one in someone else's name and one in his name. Tags were dead on the truck. Truck and trailer needed 4 tires between them. Needed brake shoes, brakes adjusted and had no trailer lights. Also found a prior inspection from another State that occurred 4 days prior during the time he logged "himself" off duty and mystery driver driving. The other inspection did not show a co-driver either. Run the driver's license and learn he was suspended in 3 State's. You almost have to try to screw up that much.

WOW!

I see a whole lot of walking shoes in that driver's future.

All tho like you said he doesn't care, will probably keep driving.... dangerously.

How bad was the fines? 4 figures or 5?

Sad part is he'll get some lawyer to plead him down to a couple tickets and be back inside three months just to be stopped again

You don't have to it wasn't you. I'm sure the compliance review will be kind to his carrier.
