Our truckers are required to have DOT permits. They won't. Our truckers are required to be licensed in every state they drive in, or at least stop and buy a temporary permit to drive in that state. They won't.
They are waivered by the federal gov to transport anywhere and everywhere with out being liable. |
Don’t forget the IFTA tax , (for those that don’t know )each state has a different fuel tax, so every trucker has to figure out miles driver in every state , gallons of fuel bought in every state divide by miles per gallon truck gets an send in the tax to the state he home to an that state will divi it out to all the states.
