    PA drivers and drivers that ran PA on I-80 will remember Kephart, the trash haulers that ran 80 (and ran some off the road). This is an old story, the son took over the company and abandoned it. At least one driver has spoken out about what happened.

    Thanks joseph, but this is not unusual. I can name half a dozen companies, in Wisconsin, not all trucking, that operated for years, and when the son ( not the daughter) took over and ran it into the ground. It's the lure of all that money, and the lifestyle it can produce, is too tempting, and it usually involves drugs and swanky lifestyle. I feel sorry for the driver, but at the first hint of trouble, he should have got out, and reported him to the Feds. (I know, easy for me to say) Sadly, unless Fox picks it up for a new reality show, this poor driver is screwed. Such a shame.:biggrin_25513:

    I just looked up the word, scumbag and junior's picture popped up. How can someone do that another person? And, his comment about the stolen 15k infuriates me.
