    ILLEGAL OPERATION REPORT

     

    Two main transportation companies, umbrella by automaker giant HYUNDAI-KIA whom are politically favored by the states of Georgia and Alabama, have been operating business illegally without any consideration of dangers to civilians and even to their own drivers. People’s lives are in stake here and sadly single mom of 1 year old have already paid its price; more lives can be in jeopardy if nothing is done to stop these companies. I personally recommend these companies to be shutdown immediately.

     

    I have listed few accidents caused by these trucking companies. I recommend few cases to be reopened for investigation. These companies are known to produce false documentations to cover up the truth. Their main vendors, HYUNDAI and KIA believe to be politically involved with local governments and other authorities to provide aid for these companies during contingencies. Direct Intermodal has benefited from it during the most recent accident which the case had mysteriously ended.

     -see below for detail-

     

                                        -Company-

     

    Company name: Direct Intermodal DOT number: 1630055 MC number: 584023

    Company name: PB Industries DOT number: 603523 MC number: 231934

     

                                        -Accidents-

     

    Company	Direct Intermodal
    DATE	9/11/2009
    TIME	10AM CST
    LOCATION	Interstate 85 northbound / city of Opelika AL
    DRIVER NAME	Douglas Amaya
    FATALITY	1 (single mom of 1 yr old son)
    INJURY	2 (minor cuts and bruises)
    RESULT	Highway shutdown (3 hours);  Mazda sedan (totaled), 1 tractor trailer (totaled), 1 Ford F550 (damaged)

    CONCLUSION: Catastrophic accident could have been preventable if the driver was in alert status; however, lack of responsiveness due to fatigue was probability the cause of the accident followed by an extensive hours of driving which exceeds DOT regulation. Unfortunately, single mom who was killed immediately from the impact has been wrongly accused of the accident and the driver of 18 wheeler was release without penalty. DOT and homicide teams were present at the accident site however they were mislead by driver’s 2^nd log book used to replace actual log book in attempt to undisclosed illegal trucking operation. Driver had just completed a full around trip from Atlanta to Mississippi (14 hrs); then immediately sent to Luverne AL without any rest (total: 20 hrs) has lead to this accident. *FYI, Douglas Amaya made a fuel purchase during the trip back from Mississippi (between hours of 11pm- midnight) at which will provide possible evidence to expose the illegal falsification of driver’s log book and company’s daily documentations. Direct Intermodal continuously insists their drivers to falsify the log book in order to conceal any potential damage to the company.   

     

     

    Company	Direct Intermodal
    DATE	9/22/2008
    TIME	5:44pm EST
    LOCATION	Intersection of CH Robintion and Westside rd. in Austell GA
    DRIVER NAME	Peter Lam
    FATALITY	none
    RESULT	Road Shutdown during commuting hours; truck operated by Direct Intermodal overturned while turning and collided with another truck operated by JB Hunt. No DOT was present on site

    CONCLUSION: Driver (Peter Lam) was driving too fast while turning left onto C.H. Robinson which caused his tractor trailer to turn over. This accident could have been preventable but driver's lack of judgment and awareness due to fatigue was the probable cause of an accident. Driver had just pulled out a container from the Atlanta rail station for delivery destination to Opelika AL. He was already on his 14th hour of driving just before the accident; and upon completion of his last delivery would have been totaled 18 hours of driving which it exceeds DOT regulation. Several commuters were able to reacted fast enough to escape from being crushed between falling tractor trailer according to the witnesses. As usual, all documentations were modified by Direct Intermodal to falsify hours of driving for Peter Lam and terminated him to completely conceal the truth.     

     

    Company	Direct Intermodal
    DATE	5/12/2008
    TIME	3:30 PM EST
    LOCATION	Intersection of CH Robintion and Westside rd. in Austell GA
    DRIVER NAME	Eric Jumbo
    FATALITY	none
    RESULT	Road Shutdown during commuting hours; truck operated by Direct Intermodal overturned. Driver was hurt and immediately sent to the emergency room. No DOT was present on site

    CONCLUSION: Driver (Eric Jumbo) was pressured by the company to complete his delivery to move on to his next delivery. He was on his 10th hour, returning to Atlanta rail from Burkeville, AL. According to the driver, he was immediately pressured when he was demanded by his dispatcher to hurry back from his delivery to jump on a "hot" shipment. Fear of losing his job and being not favored by his dispatcher had triggered the driver to state of anxiety which ultimately cloud his judgments. For the record, company had regularly taken advantage of this driver because of deficient in English skills and lack of knowledge in DOT's rules and regulations.

     

    __________________________________ supplementary___________________________________

    Month of July, 2008: all drivers exceeded 15 hours or more per day

     

    Direct Intermodal will claim that they lost ALL last year's data due to the (lightning, burglary, flood, fire or etc.)  -Part of diversion method-

     

    Between Sept 09-Oct 09: Direct targets every Sunday to be safest day in a week to order drivers to exceed their hours (less likely to get caught by DOT). Its main delivery destination is Glovis America in Montgomery AL (HYUNDAI MOTORS).

     

    Direct Intermodal has already created a backup company called Puma Express in case of Direct Intermodal fall short from DOT inspection

     

    *If you need additional information, please feel free to send me an email; however, I would like to stay as anonymous if possible. Lastly, I feel that family of deceased mother should be contacted immediately and to be told of her wrongful death.

• America Ripped Again

  • From: KevinA
  • Description:

    A company that supplies food to American troops in Iraq has been indicted for overcharging the government more than $68 million, U.S. prosecutors announced in Atlanta Monday.

    Assistant U.S. Attorney Barbara Nelan saidPublic Warehousing Co., a Kuwait-based enterprise that now does business as Agility, has carried out a complicated fraud that came to the government's attention in 2005 through a whistleblower lawsuit filed against the company in federal court in Atlanta.

    Our own people rip of fellow Americans. As Obama decides to send in between 20 and 40 thousand troops it makes you wonder what the heck we are doing. At least with the dem's we seem to be catching more of the scum.

    Hey lets see another Acorn blog.

    Lottery staff gets bigger bonuses

     

    More than 200,000 teachers and state employees are being furloughed and seeing smaller paychecks this year, but the Georgia Lottery did well enough to hand out $2.75 million in bonuses to its staffers.

    That’s up more than 8 percent from fiscal 2008, according to figures the Lottery Corp. provided to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution

    Lottery CEO Margaret DeFrancisco received a $204,034 bonus, up from $150,000 in 2008. That’s on top of a $286,000 salary, which was unchanged from 2008.

    Lottery officials say the bonuses, which they call incentive payments, are commonly used in private industry to help retain top staffers.

    The idea of the lottery was to buy books for schools and provide scholarships to students. The big business mentality of a red state. Give me a break. Meanwhile GA leads the nation in failed banks. Yep the government has to buy them out.

• Wanda Sykes Show

  • From: tlc0418
  • Description:

     

    I do not normally do this kind of thing, but...  Fox 5 is probably my favorite channel in Atlanta and I watch it more than any other channel.  I do not usually watch it too late, but tonight I had the news on and then the Wanda Sykes Show came on.  I was embarrassed to even listen to it, in a room, by myself.

    That is one of the most disgusting show's that I have ever seen.  The language, the topics, etc.  I was just shocked that you all would broadcast this type of show.

    I even looked twice to make sure that the channel did not get changed to a cable channel.  If you are that desperate for ratings, you might want to look down a different avenue.

    Disappointed in ATL.,

    I was born in Atlanta 1962 and remember Jim Axel always being on channel 5 news.

    I grew up watching Jim , Chuck and Guy Sharpe the weather man.

• Pick Six!

  • From: DanielsChopTalk
  • Description:

    The Washington Redskins look absolutely terrible out there.  They are definitely a moribound football team.  The Falcons should have fun out there taking advantage of a cut rate defense and a joke of a team.  The more I think about it, Coach Gibbs did himself a huge favor by getting out of football.  Coach deserves much better than to have to work for a dude like Mister Snyder.
