[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 362047, member: 14596"] If you are on the clock doing work for UPS, I doubt the courts would recognize much of a distinction between using your own vehicle or UPS. UPS would definately share in any liability, no question. As to your original question about DOT violations. My understanding is the answer would be no, this would not be a DOT violation even if the person taking packages around did not have a DOT card. The DOT card requirement I believe is based on the vehicle driven, not what is in the vehicle. In fact a few months back one of the news stories on the browncafe home page was about a driver who succesfully sued to get his driving position back even though a medical condition prevented him from getting a DOT card. The court found that since the package car he drove for his particular route was less than the 10,000 pounds or whatever weight it is that requires a DOT card, UPS could not keep him from his driving possition based on the fact that he could not get a DOT card.
