The legisics of a not for hire company

my opinion is, since the company is getting paid, then they are for hire. I have never heard of the packaging making a difference as to who owns the product inside the packaging... idk maybe a more knowledgeable person will chime in here.

 

By hauling goods for other companies, you are a common carrier, and all regulations apply. You have to change your MCS 150 and you have to carry all required insurances (particularly cargo insurance and minimum legal liability).

Other than that, big whoop.

 

That's going to be considered for hire by every DOT officer I've ever heard of and I'm sure it is to the lawyers too

 

You giving your company legal advice is not a good idea. I believe if there is a violation, it is on the company, not you. There Is a term called “trip lease”, that would enable a private fleet to lease a truck to another company, not sure if this is still being done, but done properly was totally legal. The company that was leasing the truck took all responsibility, and ran it, (didn’t matter who was paying the driver, as long as he had a good CDL, and medical card) as if they owned it. Same as any company could rent or lease from Hertz or Penske, and haul any product that they owned.

I actually think that the “not for hire” on the door, was put there to prevent truck drivers from picking up some side business, that the boss didn’t know about, and was not getting paid for. So if a shipper saw that on the door, he might not put his freight on that truck, realizing that the driver did not have permission to haul it.

You go looking for trouble with the way your employer runs their business, you just might find yourself out of a job. But then you could sign up for law school. Always a positive ending.

 

You call that a positive ending? Becoming a lawyer? You are the first.
