Drivers for JDC Logistics falsify logbooks, drive too many hours, breaking rules designed to prevent deadly accidents

Around dusk on June 13 last year, a driver for JDC Logistics Inc. on a run out of De Pere pulled off the highway in Remington, Ind., and crawled into his truck's sleeper berth for a good night's rest.
Or so his logbook said.
In fact, he was on the road in northern Illinois, heading toward Chicago.
Two days earlier, a JDC driver recorded in his log that he spent the night in Fenton, Mo. In fact, he was rolling east on I-294, some 300 miles away.
And the week before, a JDC driver paid a toll at Markham, Ill., at 5:42 p.m. His logbook showed that he got to his destination in Bellefontaine, Ohio, 2 1/2 hours later. To do that, he would have had to have crossed northern Indiana on U.S. Highway 30 and driven well into Ohio - all at 100 mph.
At Franklin-based JDC, a large trucking company focused on hauling parts to auto manufacturers, this sort of tinkering with logs wasn't unusual.

I was surprised to see this in the paper. It made the front page! Not that it's anything to get excited about, hopefully something starts to happens to try to get things under control with this issue,for the good of truckers and the people who share the roads with them.
