Four carriers have been placed out of service in connection with a crash in Indiana that killed four people in early February.
U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy last week announced the carriers placed out of service included:
- KG Line Group Inc.
- Tutash Express 1 LLC
- RPM Hauling
- Valcins Trucking LLC.
Duffy called the four companies "chameleon carriers" , which changed their names and DOT numbers to avoid law enforcement investigations,
Four Amish men died in the Feb. 3 crash on State Route 67 in Jay County south of Fort Wayne, when a tractor-trailer driven by Bekzhan Beishekeev, a 30-year-old from Philadelphia, a Kyrgyzstani national said by the Department of Homeland Security to be in the country illegally.
Beishekeev, was being held on an ICE detainer.
Killed in the crash were Henry Eicher (50), his sons Menno Eicher (25) and Paul Eicher (19), and family friend Simon Girod (23).
Duffy's announcement comes in the midst of a federal crackdown on truckers in the country illegally and granted non-domiciled CDLs.
