Hi guys, I'm not a truck driver, but I have a question that you can hopefully answer: I know a guy who has a midsize trucking business, about 40 trucks. I know for a fact (he was bragging) that his drivers are driving over the allowed hours. His company is still on paper logs. I'm hesitant being a "snitch", but I was in a crash a few years ago that I barely survived, and the trucker that hit me fell asleep after driving 20+ hours. He went to jail, and the company went out of business. I've been terrified of semi trucks ever since, and would feel terrible if someone has to go through what I went through, and I was able to do something to prevent it. I tried reporting to the DOT, but they want my name, and I'd prefer to do it anonymously. He's not a friend of mine, but we have lots of common friends. I don't think he's a great boss, as his drivers keep quitting. I guess some are not willing to be pushed to break the law but, then again, some are. So, in short, my question is: Is there a way to report him that will not require me to provide my name? Thanks in advance for the help!

Driving over allowed hours
Thanks for the replies!
Susan, that's what bothers me the most. Most of his drivers are immigrants. They are legal, but most have inadequate English, and I think that's one of the reasons he's able to push them to break the law, they are afraid they'll get fired and won't be able to get another job. So, if I can do anything, I want to do it against his company, and not single out a single driver or truck. How do I contact the DOT? I tried their website, but the option they provide asks for my name and phone number. Thanks again!
