Lawsuit filed over deadly area crash involving semi driven by inmate

Wow . Didn't know that Texas was in the Buisness of transporting freight. TFU.

 

Wonder if they have/need a. DOT #.

 

I also wonder if they get to by pass the open scale?

 

I have a buddy that served three years in Federal Prison at El Reno Oklahoma. The USG runs a huge dairy operation and inmates drive commercial vehicles within a 500 mile radious of the State Farm making deliveries to state and local jails. These are trustees btw, inmates with no reason to run and no risk to the general public.

The Texas state pen has their trucking operation right off I-45 just north of Huntsville. They run supplies out to the other facilities located around Texas. Don't see them stopped much though. Probably pretty tight rules for them regarding unnecessary stops.
