You are held responsible for the maintenance of every bridge you cross? Every road you drive on? So if you have a permit to drive over a certain road with an overweight road, but because that road wasn't properly maintained by the city/county, your oversize load causes the road to give way and wash out....you think that's your fault?My point, is that the driver is responsible. In my situation, my boss is going to want me to haul an unlawful oversize load. I can't get on the road, something go wrong, then say my boss made me do it. Why? Becsuse the driver is responsible. Soon as I say yes, I assume 100% of the tesponsibility for anything that goes wrong.
I'm beginning to truly understand why truckers are so ruff around the edges.
