[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1529133, member: 8481"] Not only can they fine you, which you are responsible for, they can level criminal penalties against you. Last one I know of was last year. UPS was fined $11,000 and the driver fined $2,750. Driver grieved it and lost. Ruling from the panel was that it is the drivers responsibility to know his hours of service and to not violate them. It has always been this way and always will. UPS may help you out and let you know how many hours you have left to avoid them paying a fine. In feeders, when you clock in on the IVIS/FDT, it actually shows you your available hours. [B]Penalties for Violating Hours of Service Rules[/B] [LIST] [*]Drivers may be placed out-of-service (shut down) at roadside until the driver has accumulated enough off-duty time to be back in compliance [*]State and local law enforcement officials may assess fines [*][URL='http://freight.about.com/od/Glossary/g/Federal-Motor-Carrier-Safety-Administration-Fmcsa.htm']FMCSA[/URL] may levy civil penalties [B]on a driver and carrier[/B], ranging from $1,000 to $11,0000 per violation depending on severity [*]The carrier's safety rating can be downgraded for a pattern of violations [*][B]Federal criminal penalties can be brought against carriers who knowingly and willfully allow or require HOS violations; or against drivers who knowingly and willfully violate the HOS regulations[/B] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
