I cannot thnk off the top of my head that involves a person to be so personally liable. You can say certain management officers; CEO types that can be held liable for certain misdeeds. Truck driving or and cdl holding type of job is a conundrum... It is a do as you are told or suffer the consequenses while on the other hand you are the culprit according to law if you are caught.
When I was driving for someone else, I had several intersting encounters. In a nutshell dot or police would just say: just refuse to drive the equipment or report your co... As if it was that easy. Anytime I refused to drive equipment, I was; sent home, punished, threatened... No turn signals fix em yourself or deal with it, faulty brakes - too bad the run needs to get done and so on.
There are a few truths to the matter; unless you are i. A strong union, own your own equipment, or work for a place that actually cares...It is not worth the pay. End of story.
