Can I refuse to work without proper vehicle registration paperwork?
My work involves me having a company owned truck in my possession at all times here in Florida. My company is based 4 hours away and I am the only one in my area that does work for them. I advised them back in the beginning of December 2011 that the Vehicle Registration expires at the end of the month. It is now the 23rd of January and they keep telling me they renewed it and mailed it to me but it still hasn't come yet, It may be legal in the system but the vehicle is illegally on the road with a bad Registration and sticker on the plate. My question is do I have any rights that would protect my job if I was to tell my boss I refuse to drive the truck until I receive the proper paperwork for the work truck? I am a Law Abiding Citizen and am out on the Highways and back roads 6 days a week driving approximately 220 miles a night and just don't like the feeling I have when I am out there driving the truck on a bad Registration and Sticker on plate.

Make sure you have proof of everything. Then refuse to drive it, as he is requiring you to break the law. He will be stupid and fire you. Then you file for and collect unemployment, which will be charged back to him. Of course, this will be only a percentage of what you currently earn, and it will take you forever to find another job.

You'd be held negligent and personally liable? Ask to take your bosses personal vehicle leave it dirty for their partner? Find why not?
You like your job? You get paid? If not? Cut your losses and go get work safe onto it? If you have work funds hire a vehicle then tell you boss by law under occupational safety legally he has to provide a safe workplace join a union I'd your in one inform them if its open market you loose you job get a stake out vechicles ring everytime their unregistered vehicle hits road?
Also plant a few tracking devices on it and let police know where it is again and again??

Yes, you can refuse to work, with or without a reason.
Yes, they can fire you if you refuse, even for a legitimate reason.
Yes, it would be stupid of them to fire you for this reason.
No, you don't REALLY want to continue working for a company that stupid.
