Can a trucking company charge me for a preventible accident

by Coleman Walker
(Sacramento,CA)

I was charged for a preventible accident by Central Refrigerated Service because my tandems slide once because a four wheeler cut me off but they didn't come off so they told me to go back to the shipper and transfer the load but the shipper didn't have any extra trailers on the way back the trailer settled and I called my maint. dept and they told me to take it to a T.A.and have it checked which I did and the guy said it was ok to run that the damage was only normal wear and tear.

The company's safety policy has to comply with CSA 2010. If the company makes an adverse report to DAC or any of the other "consumer reporting agencies," you have an absolute right to challenge that report in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Best of luck. 10-4?
