On today’s FreightWaves Morning Minute, we report on the sudden closure of two Minnesota carriers that has left approximately 200 drivers out of work. MinStar Transport and Transport Design, Inc., both operating under True North Equity Partners, announced they were ceasing operations over the weekend.
We also discuss a crackdown on the southern border where Mississippi is sending illegal truckers to ICE after identifying 85 unauthorized drivers in three months. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith is advocating for stricter federal legislation regarding non-domiciled CDLs and English language proficiency to address these safety concerns.
In legal news, an Ohio trucking company operator has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for a long-running tax evasion scheme involving Defense Department contracts. Alice Martin must pay nearly $2 million in restitution after pleading guilty to charges related to her company, Martin Logistics.
Finally, tune in to FreightWaves TV at noon for a new episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? featuring Malcolm Harris. You can catch the live broadcast or listen to the replay on SiriusXM channel 146.
