We pulled this article down because it tells the history of the carriers and ownership and ties to ELDT CDL schools, but we did get the crash imagery last night, so we updated the article to reflect the shipper BOL and crash scene photos.
There's a lot to unwrap here. @NODAWOLFs network of Mansfield bad actors is, in many ways, a CA origin story.

The carrier, the broker, and the names behind the crash that killed Brandon Rogers...
Brandon Rogers, 48, died in the passenger seat of a BMW on I-10 in Beaumont on April 15, 2023. The carrier named in his family's lawsuit had 143 crashes and nine deaths in its federal crash file.
The broker changed company names...AGAIN, shortened his name, and the carrier went on to owe millions while making sure he was protected in Florida.
Attorney Brian Beckom has this case in Texas. https://t.co/UxvEPoRLQn https://t.co/SatqNuyStZ

If you weren't around for Katrina and other LA and TX storms, fuel prices almost always rise afterward because refineries cut capacity and supply. Expect even higher fuel costs in the coming weeks because of this.

37 students on a bus when A car crosses double yellow, clips the bus, sends it head-on into a Jeep. A 16-year-old and a 26-year-old on his way to work are dead. The bus driver did nothing wrong, and still got her kids out pinned and hurt. @NTSB is investigating. Sometimes you can do everything right and things go way wrong.

The Guaranteeing Overtime for Truckers Act fixes this.

The reason detention like this has never gone away across the industry is because there is no cost to drivers time, so they waste it with impunity.

40% capacity loss, daily.

Rogel Aguilera-Mederos becomes eligible for parole Dec. 30, 2026, 5 years after Colorado cut his 110-year sentence to 10. Castellano 03 Trucking dissolved after, and a new company registered at the same Houston house the day after, and the four families split a $750,000 policy.
