[QUOTE="The Youngin' Of It All, post: 3330206, member: 66633"] Bacha, you said exactly what I was going to say. It's all about that USDOT 265752. Not my own DOT number but FedEx's, hence the "Operated by FedEx Ground," decal put above it to state who the real motor carrier in control is. By having this, FedEx regulates the rules in terms of the contractor's trucks, who gets to drive them (driving experience), and the Federal, State, and Quarterly inspections, which they so often harass you about if the truck is deemed roadworthy or not. Why is that? Because it represents THEIR DOT number. The last thing they want is THEIR safety rating in the tank and you best believe they're not going to put that in someone else's hands like OP's if they knew he was a representation to their DOT number and something they could of foreseen from happening did happen. BBSAM also was correct with what he stated earlier too about the new process where they find out any immediate MVR incidents. Only a matter of time before this is a done deal. [/QUOTE]
