US-Canada

Can anyone provide feedback on the following if you know ?:
1) IF a US Freight Broker, hires a carrier in Canada to make a local delivery, and happen to be that that carrier has no authorization to operate, what can happen legally?
2) If that same carrier did deliver the cargo but we paid someone else other than the company name, what can happen, legally?

 

Hi, Mr. Thanks a lot for the feedback. To be more precise, let's say t the driver is from Canada and his trucking company is from Canada. If we hire him, without not knowing that his "authority is not active, and he delivers the cargo but, when time to pay, we pay not to his company name but to someone else. Can that create issues for us here in the State?
