§ 5411 Charter Carrier Violations Penalty

Key Takeaways

  • •If a bus company or its workers break the rules for carrying passengers, they can get in trouble.
  • •Breaking the rules can mean paying a fine between $1,000 and $5,000.
  • •They might also go to jail for up to 3 months, or both pay a fine and go to jail.
  • •Helping someone else break these rules is also against the law.

Example

A bus company lets a driver work extra hours without a break, even though the rules say drivers must rest.
