Reporting 'Illegal' hauling?

Its pretty easy to figure out when someone is running illegal when they are advertising themselves all over various places with a truck that is well over 8000 lbs gross curb weight at the dealer and a trailer that is 5000 or better empty. It does not take rocket science to know that a 2500 pulling a 10 horse trailer is going to weight well over 10k empty much less loaded (figure 1k per horse). They also need to do IFTA. It does not matter who or what you are claiming yourself, their claims is they are "private haulers", if you are over 10,000 and transporting horses FOR MONEY it is illegal to not be dot registered and if over 26k IFTA. So if they are hauling and no dot info on the truck boom clear as day. You could be running in a van if you are over 10k your are required by law to follow dot regs and be registered if you are running for payment over state lines.

It is not legal to haul horses for money on farm plates. It is legal to haul horse for money as exempted for hire as some horses are exempted, some aren't. But you STILL need a dot # and to follow dot rules. A level playing field should be -everyone's- concern. Since when is it okay to break the law because its not my business? I suppose you walk on by violent crimes and theft in progress too because its not your business? It IS MY business. It is directly effecting MY BUSINESS. When you figure that staying dot legal requires almost 35 cpm out of my base rate pay everything rate and these clowns are running around under cutting the rate that barely pays the fuel and dot legal crap because they don't play by the rules and don't have that expense. This would be like seeing illegal non dot semi trucks running red diesel stealing all your loads because they can cut your base rate in half for not following the laws and going meh not my business. Well if you are okay with people taking food of your table and money out your pocket over some weird mental need to feel that it is better for country thats on you, not this chick. I am running legal, I paid to run legal, and I expect those that did not to get forced to either get legal or gtfo. When one of these uninsured idiots slams into the back of your families car then will it be your business? Well sorry, I do not plan to wait for that to happen. This whole look the other way crap is the real sad part of our country today, you'd rather see honest people doing it right fail and law breaking criminals succeed. Pff.
