Probably going to be seeing more of this

So a business should get a pass to break the law, endanger the motoring public and kill someone ... just because they are small?

 

I guess a fatality isn't too bad... unless its among your friends or family. Failure to correct mistakes and improve compliance pretty much tells me they don't deserve to be in business.

 

Maybe they take those out to move the curve down.

 

Guess i should have looked further,EZ is still active though. Probably will we shut down soon. Looks like they at least used a different address for that one.

 

This is probably a so called "chameleon" carrier. The same names/addresses show up on multiple DOT registrations. One of them has a bad record, the others miraculously have clean safety records. This is how they are systematically shutting down unsafe motor coach operators in the northeast. One of the other threads talks about not hauling cheap freight. This is one of the ways cheap freight gets hauled. My carrier has to abide by all the regulations, and by and large does, certainly making a good faith effort. Shut down all of these gypsy carriers asap.

 

There was a company shut down in AL not long ago for doing this. I don't think their record was any better under the new name, same unsafe ways were going on once again. That is why I think they are on the hunt for these type companies as perhaps they should be. If the company is having drivers drive unsafe, overweight, logs over run, then they are making it unsafe for all drivers in the long run.

 

30 -3+ years ago, I drove 15-16 hours a day. My truck was always pretty close to right. Some drivers can't drive that long. I like running at night. Less traffic, wind, and problems.

 

I'm definitely a night runner. Even the big cities are ghost towns at 3 in the morning. I leave the grid-lock traffic to the company drivers.

 

ACCORDING to that order. looks .like it was based on there heavy hauls. to which they weren't properly permitted for. or equipped to haul heavy.

they have a chjance to remedy the situation, once they get knowledge and equipment. and there drivers start logging properly.

 

Well, look at a Company like CRST Malone which i work in the past driving someones elses truck. They hire O/O. Look at their safety record, then ask yourself why they are not shut down? heard some big companies receiving government subsidies? thats your answer!
