7 illegal road transport practices that drivers are sometimes pressured into, and how you can avoid them. If you've ever faced a request to do something shady, you'll want to hear this.
Here’s what you need to know:
Personal Conveyance: Some companies ask drivers to use personal transport for business deliveries—don’t fall for it! 🚨 Police can catch this by checking your Bill of Lading.
Deactivating Logs: Being told to turn off electronic logs to cheat hours? That’s a big red flag and gets caught during audits! ⛔
Working Off Duty: Ever asked to hang around the dock, go off duty, then come back as soon as your load’s done? If it happens too often, something’s off.
Overweight Loads: Driving through closed scales doesn’t mean you’re safe. Hauling more weight than allowed is a surefire way to land in trouble. ⚖️
Disconnecting ABS Lights: Cutting wires to hide ABS issues is another illegal practice, and it can cost you a hefty fine.
Interstate Loads (Canadian/Mexican Carriers): You’re not allowed to transport goods between two U.S. states as a Canadian or Mexican carrier.
Fake Team Drivers: Pretending two people are driving when there's only one? This is illegal and dangerous!
💡 Set boundaries when faced with these requests. Don’t be afraid to follow up with an email to your dispatcher, recording your refusal.
