    One of my favorite movies. I worked briefly, very briefly, in the office of a large trucking company. That movie nailed it.

    The SEC civil complaint and criminal charges were filed against former President William Meek, 39, and former Chief Financial Officer Bobby Peavler, 40, who were indicted Dec. 5 for their alleged role in a complex securities and accounting scheme.

    Meek

    The former Celadon executives were charged with one count each of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, bank fraud and securities fraud; five counts of wire fraud; two counts of securities fraud; one count of conspiracy to make false statements to a public company’s accountants and to falsify books, records and accounts of a public company; and one count of making false statements to a public company’s accountants.

    Peavler was charged with two additional counts of making false statements to a public company’s accountants, according to the indictment.

    The detailed SEC civil complaint alleges that the men attempted to conceal losses by engaging in the scheme to buy and sell trucks at inflated prices — in some cases double or triple their fair market value.

    Can you imagine this hump in Marion Federal Pen?

    I wish they WOULD send these dirtbags there.

    But I believe Marion is maximum security. They're just gonna send these turds to some "Wall Street Boot Camp Diversion Program."

    anybody besides me think the dude looks like a douche bag? He'll have a very large time in the federal pen. Maybe shares a cell with Mark Hazelwood (PFJ Douche).

    It looks to me this happened the only way it could. Seems they are shooting straight trying to get driver's home and last loads delivered.
    Ships sink all the time, it's why it's so important to watch the one your on. Bankruptcy is distasteful by nature. From everything I read they are looking out for their driver's the best they can. Much better than some of the other dirt bag companies have done in recent memory.
    On a more sobering note, if the lack of 300 dollars leaves anyone stranded, then they are just as bankrupt as the company they worked for. A change could do them good.
