I had a fellow driver that came back from a trip (I wouldn’t have sent that in if we were still working together). He did New York to Washington state and back. When he came to do the final calculations with the dispatcher for his trip, he told him he had $150 fine but had no receipt or citation to show for it. He said while he was driving through North Dakota (or maybe South Dakota, not sure, I don’t really remember), a cop stopped him for speeding and told him that he needs to pay $150 cash on spot or he’ll be detained. The poor guy was so stressed that he took out the money and paid the “fine” but he never got a ticket. He was very naïve and easily scared and probably thought he was very lucky to avoid the ticket. Needless to say, the company didn’t pay him back. He might have been better off with a ticket.
