I appreciate the cute life advise but I'm looking for legal help. This was only our second out of state job and these issues just weren't on our radar. Perhaps a better way to have phrased it would have been, "As a dispatched driver for a company, I was unaware (as were my supervisors and boss) that we needed additional documentation to drive across the border."

What, specifically, am I suspended from doing for 90 days? Is the out of service order the period of time he told me I was not allowed to drive? In this case the initial 10 hours? Or does it refer to the gap time until the things he cited me for were corrected? The way he made it sound, the 10 hours carried significant penalties and I didn't drive until after that time. I didn't have any option to not drive, however, since I had to go someplace to have the truck inspected. As a non-commercial driver in CA I can't be federally restricted from driving in CA, right? Only restricted from driving across state lines for commerce. At least that makes sense to me. Unless the DOT does a lot more enforcement-wise inside the state...

I don't have a commercial license. Just a regular class C. I was driving a 2 axle straight truck with an empty weight of 10,700 lbs. No trailer.
