L & H
RostyC:
As far as L & H goes it's a long story, but I will try to be brief.
They were forcing us to run illegal. Both local and OTR. At first it was only a couple hours here and there but it became worse.
I sat down with the owner of L & H, Glenn, and expressed my concerns about it. I told him I refused to run illegal anymore and they should make some changes.
He said, "This is the way we run the business and we're not going to change it for you." I handed him my keys, cleaned out my truck and left.
Just a few weeks after quitting, one of their drivers crashed his truck in Rhode Island rolling on top of a car, killing the woman that was the driver.
And guess what? He was driving over hours.
The DOT and FMCSA conducted an investigation and audited L & H records finding numerous violations on both drivers and equipment maintenance. They have since levied fines of biblicle proportions, not to mention the lawsuit that the womans' family is filing.
The womans' family lawyers have contacted me on many occasions for information, of which I graciously gave them. So if this thing ever goes to trial I will be the star witness for the prosecution, but I think L & H will settle out of court. If the're smart they will. But they haven't proved to be very smart up to this point
Regardless, L & H will be paying out $$$$MILLIONS$$$. And hopefully they will go bankrupt because of it.
