In recent weeks, several federal courts have taken legal action against carriers or other companies for various crimes. Here’s a roundup of what’s come across the wire:
Chameleon carrier convicted after violating imminent hazard out of service order
A Georgia man has pleaded guilty to charges of conspiring to violate a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration-issued imminent hazard out-of-service order by forming another carrier.
Corey Daniels pled guilty Jan. 31 to the charges after FMCSA discovered he and Devasko Lewis formed Eagle Transport under Daniel’s identity in order to circumvent an imminent hazard out-of-service order issued to Lewis and his Lewis Trucking Company in 2008. The two owned and operated Eagle Transport.
Lewis’ former company was ordered to shut down in October 2008 after FMCSA said it discovered “serious violations” during a compliance review prompted by a crash that killed seven people in Alabama.
