    No , you are, they sent you to pick up a legal load, it wasn't. You are the man in charge. They are not.That is part of being a truck driver. EVERY THING IS ON YOU.IF you run over hours, have an accident, someone dies as a result. You will be the one going to jail. Not your dispatch, not the owner of the company YOU. That is trucking 101. I have paid overweight. Tickets,

    Except you made the choice to form an LLC to take a 1099 job that doesn’t follow the IRS guidelines. Almost like now you’re dealing with some consequences of a poor choice. Weird how that works.

    Yes the business violation is legit. Had dot do that to intentionally not allow FMCSA to find out. It was what the company could do something about. I couldn’t.
    It sounds like a good deal.

    If they were telling you what to do, then your were NOT running your own business. Get yourself an attorney, because this business owes you a lot more than an overweight ticket reimbursement.
