Progressive decision from judge in OOIDA v. C.R. England

Wonder how the England family is going to like screaming when that Spike goes up that canal.

 

Congratulations to all the affected drivers. It kinda of makes you wonder how they treat their company drivers? How sad. I wonder what they take from or cheat them out of to make a profit. I know we are the necessary evil to make them money but how far do they need to take it?

It's not just this company. There are many out there. This company just happened to be the one that got caught in litigation.

Again, congratulations to the affected drivers.

Drive safe

 

Unfortunately this does nothing for the drivers here and now. This IS for a older court battle. Todays indiscretions have no value toward the fleasing of any driver currently signing up after the cutoff date of 2002.

 

Give this guy a raise !!!

This is the experience Obama was looking for in his sad attempt of a Supreme Court Judge appointment.

 

I think it is noteworthy that:
1)around 1999 and before, England was "selling" fuel at their terminal to "lease operators" without properly being registered with the bureau of weights and measures. In so doing they could only put fuel into fleet vehicles.
2) according to the DMV they were not supposed to run both operations out of the same store front i.e. England/Opportunity Leasing.
3) unresolved is the issue of how you can lease a vehicle you have no interest in i.e. Opportunity Leasing, leasing vehicles registered in Englands name
4) England is self-insured, and as such cannot "sell" off any portion of such, remember all permits, insurance etc in Englands name
5) This is most interesting. The agency agreement for the escrow account, under state law of Utah is considered a "security", and as such was supposed to be registered with the state, and most likely England/Opp. required to be security brokers
6) Englands favorite trick, turn in the truck in pristine condition and they would "charge" an amount equal to or a little more than your escrow for "repairs"
7) England's "power" is pervasive in that area, the aforementioned security situation was "dropped" as an investigation for supposedly not filing a formal complaint. Money and religious affiliation? One wonders

 

I would beware of any company requiring "escrow" money.

 

OOIDA v. C.R. England: CRE's latest volley of objections fails to sway judge
With the exception of the issue of prejudgment interest, the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah has denied the latest volley of objections from C.R. England in the case of OOIDA versus the Salt Lake City motor carrier.

 

And these are the type of characters that run ATA.

Nice

 

Yup . Another great ATA chairman was Pat Quinn in 2006 . His US Xpress was audited in December 2006 and fined for document falsification and given a deficient rating in Safety Management . While Quinn rants for speed limiters USX trucks are seen speeding and tailgating anywhere the speed limit is under 65 mph .
