    the owner 100%


    Even if the CDL driver was not at fault. Not having insurance and not being cleared to drive according to DOT/FMCSA rules means the other guys lawyer is going to bury that company. The other driver is no longer responsible.

    This accident is not related to the case of refusal to pay insurance. However, this matter is relevant to the discussion in this thread. Here's a page from the police report.

    You don’t seem to understand when it comes to US law regarding commercial vehicles.

    Your truck was not authorized to be on the road with that driver. This means if your truck was not suppose to be there the accident could have been avoided.

    Truck owner responsible 100%


    Now if the driver was authorized, that would mean truck owner is safe and insurance handles everything else.

    Hypothetically the other driver. Only if your driver was authorized to operate. Since your driver was not authorized then the blame is on you.
     
    Rookie driver 956 and Tug Toy Thank this.
