I read that USPS sent alarming letters to employees and contractors warning of possible emergencies—epidemics, hurricanes, civil unrest—and advising them to carry essential service letters and IDs to bypass travel restrictions. They imply government prep while others are in the dark, and note truckers last saw such letters during COVID.

🚨United States Postal Service sends alarming letter out to all employees and contractors. Letter signals that an impending crisis of civil unrest or an epidemic could be imminent! What do they know you don't? Just days into 2026, USPS is issuing memos reminding workers to carry "essential service" letters and IDs to bypass travel restrictions during emergencies like epidemics, hurricanes, or CIVIL UNREST. Government prepping while we're in the dark? The last time Truckers saw these letters in our industry was during the COVID crisis! Pay Attention America #USPSAlert #CivilUnrest #ImpendingCrisis #TruckersKnow

I’m alarmed: a non-citizen Mexican driver sleeping on the interstate in Clarksville, AR. He violated hours of service, used personal conveyance, spoke no English, and had no work visa—only a B1/B2 visa. 700 miles from the border, hauling Mississippi to Oklahoma, not cross-border—clearly cabotage. Arkansas Highway Police showed zero training, didn’t probe his Border Crossing Card or why he was domestic. The chief opposed B1/B2 limits and ICE cooperation; he’s dropped at a hotel with a slap-on-the-wrist. Who protects our highways?

🚨ALARMING: An exhausted non-citizen truck driver from Mexico was found ASLEEP on the side of the interstate in Clarksville, AR! This driver violated hours of service rules, was driving in "personal conveyance" mode, couldn't speak English, and had NO WORK VISA—only a B1/B2 tourist visa. What's INSANE? He's 700 miles from the border, hauling a load from Mississippi to Oklahoma—NOT a cross-border shipment. This is straight-up CABOTAGE violation, illegal for foreign drivers! Arkansas Highway Police? ZERO training on this—they didn't even question the Border Crossing Card or why he's running domestic loads. Even worse, the Arkansas Highway Police chief actively worked with the Arkansas Trucking Association against legislation in this year's legislative session that would have banned the use of B1/B2 tourist visas for truck drivers in the state of Arkansas. If this happened in Oklahoma, ICE would've been called immediately. But Arkansas isn't cooperating with ICE, so they just dropped him at a hotel with a slap-on-the-wrist warning for English proficiency. This is a massive safety risk—exhausted illegal drivers on our roads? Wake up, America! Who's protecting our highways? 😡 #BorderCrisis #TruckSafety #Cabotage
Video Transcript AI Summary
An Arkansas Highway Police officer and a US Customs Inspector stop a truck in Clarksville, AR. They confirm the driver’s identity, employer, and load (food); no weapons or drugs. Paperwork shows the load was picked up in Hertlaid, Missouri, but another line says from Mississippi; the logs are not certified for every day. The driver has been off duty since midnight and drove from Russellville to Clarksville, using personal conveyance. The driver relies on translator; his English is not sufficient to pass the proficiency test. A CBP agent verifies visa details: B1/B2 visa; arrival June 27; submission expires December 26; no passport found. The driver is told the truck will be impounded and held until an English-speaking driver can pick it up. A tow company will respond from Clarksville. The driver receives one ticket for no English and one warning; court date November 5, Johnson County, AR; hotel lodging arranged.

I shared the original draft from the Arkansas Trucking Association presented to legislators in 2024, highlighting an attempt to legalize Non-Domiciled Learner permits from foreign jurisdictions on Arkansas highways. This bill sparked significant controversy, as the association misled legislators by claiming it would enhance highway safety. I pointed out their actions, emphasizing the absurdity of trying to legalize Non-Domicile learner permits.

I am alarmed by a recent incident involving a California truck driver who couldn't understand basic English commands. After being stopped by Arkansas Highway Police, he was released without any checks on his immigration status. This is concerning, especially since the same police leadership supported a bill that could allow unqualified drivers on the roads. I question why there was no action taken regarding the driver's English proficiency or logbook violations, and why it took over two months to release this information. Who is protecting American drivers? We need answers now!

🚨ALARMING: A California truck driver who couldn't understand BASIC English commands was stopped by Arkansas Highway Police... and then RELEASED right back onto the roads! No questions about immigration status. NOTHING.🚨 This is the SAME Arkansas Highway Police leadership that teamed up with the Arkansas Trucking Association to PUSH HB1745—a bill that attempted to legalize NON-DOMICILE LEARNERS PERMITS on Arkansas roadways. Why NO check on immigration status? Why NOT put him out of service for English Language Proficiency (ELP) violations? Why NO out-of-service for logbook violations? Why did it take over two months to produce this video? And WHY on earth would they support laws to flood our roads with MORE unqualified drivers like this? Who's protecting American drivers?

I would just say it's not logging. He's manually doing everything. It's showing his drive time as unidentified drive time. I don't know if it's because it's disconnected or if he's not logged in to the right truck or or what. Yeah.

Speaker 0: 1053020L6.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's logged into the wrong truck because he's manually changing everything, but all of his drive time is logging as unidentified drive time because he's manually changing his stuff on duty, off duty, and driving. I can't get this guy to understand because he's he's, Asian, and he doesn't speak very good English, doesn't understand English. I have to like, when I was trying to get him to open the hood, I had to tap the top of the hood and say open, you know, wave at him to open it because he couldn't communicate that way.
Speaker 0: Do you think it's actually malfunctioning?
Speaker 1: It's showing a malfunction report at the bottom, but well, the the the EOD is saying a malfunction. I'm just gonna put on here a figure to, notify carrier of malfunction and just let it run. But I don't know if it's his company or not because I can't un he doesn't understand me. I'm definitely putting that on there because I had to use signals, and I had to climb up in the truck when I was asking for his air pressure. He was, like, starting the truck or turning the blinker on, and I was like, no.
No. No. No. And then he would pump the brakes, and I'm like, no. No.
No. No. No.
Speaker 0: No. Is this your company? Is this your company? Yes. It's not in place.
Your company? Yeah. Okay. Why does your logbook not work? Not work.

It's not doesn't keep the information. He's manually putting in that he's starting and stopping. And I was trying to find out if this was his company or if this is somebody else's company. Is he the boss or somebody else is the boss? Who is?
Okay. So you're the owner of the company. Okay. Because his his logbooks are jacked up. And I'm trying to communicate with him, and he can't he can't communicate with me to
Speaker 1: tell me how his logbooks are not jacked up.
Speaker 0: Well, the log books are the the truck the EOD is supposed to automatically work when he puts it in drive and when he stops. Well, have you do you know that his logbook is malfunctioning? Okay. Okay. Well, thank you.

Speaker 0: He
Speaker 1: doesn't understand me. I asked him for paper log books, and he handed me a bill of lading for Toshiba. I'll be here all night trying to get information. I'm putting on here a failure too because he called he wasn't understanding me, so he called the owner of the company, and she told me that he didn't say anything about his logs malfunctioning. So I guess the
Speaker 0: twenty fifth that the log
Speaker 1: hasn't changed out today. Yeah. I ain't doing that. I mean, I have grounds to put on here that I could you know, him not passing the driver interview because when I was trying to get him to, he wouldn't talk to me. And everything I would say to him, he'd just say yes.
Yes. So when I started asking for, you know, like, asking him to set the truck up for inspection because I wanna do a level two because he had no the inoperative lights. So I'm trying to get him to set his truck up, and I tell him to
Speaker 0: They said they
Speaker 1: release his brakes, he starts pumping his brakes.
Speaker 0: And was
Speaker 1: like, no. No. No. No. So he sets his brakes.

Speaker 0: Okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm just gonna put on here he failed to notify Carrier. Carrier of EOD malfunctioning and just let it go.
Speaker 0: Yeah. That's that's probably the best thing to do.
Speaker 1: And as far as the I mean, I've got through the inspection. I have to constantly repeat myself to get him to understand, so it's not like he doesn't completely understand.
Speaker 0: And
Speaker 1: Well, he's also it's also saying he can be put out it's gonna be put him out of service. Well, this is borderline. I mean, I got through the inspection, and he was trying to understand me, and I would have to finally just take him and show him what I wanted him to do. Yeah. Child and headache.

While driving across the I-55 bridge, I noticed a semi-truck heading straight toward me in the wrong lane. Initially, I thought it might be a truck towing another. After calling the Arkansas State Police, I recorded as an officer arrived, drew his weapon, and approached the driver, who refused to exit. The situation escalated, and with the help of additional officers, they forcibly removed the driver from the vehicle and subdued him on the ground.

WRONG WAY TRUCK DRIVER REMOVED AT GUN POINT - 🚨RAJ TRANSPORT 🚨 WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. — Raleigh May Cupples was driving across the I-55 bridge Tuesday when the vehicle in front of her changed lanes – and she saw a semi-truck driving in her direction. “The big truck gets over in the right lane, and that’s when I see that truck,” Raleigh said. “My first thought was, is this a truck hooked up to another truck pulling it?” Video taken shortly before shows the semi-truck was actually driving down the wrong lane of traffic. Arkansas State Police arrived on the scene. By this point, Raleigh said they were on the Tennessee side of the bridge. The trooper jumped the median with his weapon drawn, she said. She began recording video at this point. The trooper holstered his weapon, jumped down from the barrier, and went to the driver’s side of the cab. From there, the officer opened the door and attempted to get the driver to exit the vehicle. Raleigh said the man refused. The trooper tried to pull the man out of the vehicle, but it appears in the video that the man resisted. A second trooper arrives with a rifle, and a third officer also shows up with a gun drawn. With multiple officers working together, they pull the man out of the vehicle and take him to the ground.

I shared a video from New Mexico State Police showing a badge cam interaction where Harjinder Singh struggles to communicate with an officer who admits he doesn't understand him. This highlights a failure in English proficiency testing, raising concerns about how law enforcement accommodates non-English speaking truck drivers.

An officer processes a truck driver's ticket, saying: "This one right here is the one that you're paying. We have thirty days to take care of it." He scans documents—driver's license, truck registration, and BOLs—and says, "This is the one that you'll take care of within thirty days" and "choose one of those options right there." He adds, "Drive safely. Alright? Thank you, Have a good one. Sorry, sir. This is my first time." The driver replies, "No worries. I I I feel bad being the first guy to write you a ticket, but Yeah. You know, I try to help." The driver asks about "my more license in the ticket?... how many year?" The response: "Don't" then, "quote me on this.

While driving on the I-55 bridge, I witnessed a semi-truck heading straight toward me in the wrong lane. Initially confused, I recorded the scene as Arkansas State Police arrived. A trooper jumped the median with his weapon drawn, then attempted to get the driver to exit the cab. When the driver refused and resisted, additional officers arrived with their guns drawn. Together, they managed to pull the man from the vehicle and take him down to the ground.

The American Trucking Industry is facing a crisis with illegal immigrant truck drivers and their fleet owners disregarding safety regulations. I've shared evidence showing alarming practices, such as hacking driver logbooks and pressuring drivers to work over 15 hours daily. These operations, often managed from Eastern Europe and Asia, leave American families powerless to seek justice. I strongly believe we need to take immediate action by banning all non-domicile and foreign CDLs from our highways.

🚨The American Trucking Industry has been invaded by hordes of illegal immigrant truck drivers and their respective fleet owners. This video is some of our evidence of how these operations have absolutely no regard for American Safety regulations and have created an unprecedented Safety Epidemic on Americas Highways. Hacking driver logbooks! Telling drivers they must drive over 15 hours per day!

Speaker 0: So I just did 675 miles from the time I did that video last night on, Friday, January 24, and they reset my logs. I got forty nine minutes. I already did my delivery. I'm on my way to my next pickup. Thousand miles, and they expect me to do it on
Speaker 1: a day.
Speaker 0: And I I'm I'm no. No. Absolutely not. I told them I'll be there on Monday. And I got fifteen I got an hour away for pickup, and I got forty five minutes.
They will do they will reset it while I'm driving, and there's nothing I can do about it. Not they call me, oh, we're gonna reset it, pull over so you can do a post trip or a pre trip inspection. Nope. They'll redo it while I'm driving. And so there there it is.
It's 305.
Speaker 2: Yes. I'm driving with my knee.
Speaker 0: 305 Saturday, January 25 without me even noticing. I just did 700 miles from last night, Friday, January 24 to today, delivered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa at noon. And I had, like, two hours left, and I was two and a half hours for my next pickup that I had smoked. Look at that shit. And even my locks doing all that shit while I'm driving.
See, I'm not doing that.
Speaker 2: Wow. I had a feeling there in this end.
Speaker 0: Since they wanna change this
Speaker 2: let me see. I just parked. Let's see if they changed the yep. They just

Speaker 2: January 24. I have an hour and thirty seven minutes. Been off for an hour or so, and I've been up for over fifty hours. I've had sleep maybe three or four hours in the last fifty hours, and they're threatening to fire me because I they expected me to be up by noon, and I'm about to go to sleep. Like, I just made some dinner, and they don't respect the whole ten hour reset and and the hours of service.
Like, they reset my seventies. They reset my my fourteen hours and my ten. I'm not doing anything.
Speaker 0: See? See? Full reset. They even did a pretrip, so I don't have to do it. And if I don't go, they'll call the cops.
And if if I don't go after, like, a welfare check, I'm afraid I'll be driving down the road, and they report the truck stolen. They made a threat last the other night. One of the management in Uzbekistan saying that we don't care if you crash. If you wreck the truck, we'll just replace you with another driver, whether you're dead or alive. It really doesn't matter.
Like, they scared the shit out of me, and I'm trying to take legal action. This is bullshit. I never get a fucking break. I never get to sleep ever. I'm never in that bed.
I'm sleeping in the driver's seat, resting my head up against the window because I never get a break. Seriously. It's bullshit.
Speaker 1: Asking you if oh, okay. I'm asking you if you can be able to drive, like, fourteen hours or sixteen hours a day. This will help you to fix the clock.
Speaker 3: You're help me fix the clock to drive fourteen. Is that legal?
Speaker 1: Yeah. We know. You know, by we have the we we are just able to do that. Most of the drivers that we have in this company, just we fix the clock for them to in order to push more miles. Because you push more miles, you get a good paycheck.
Then working as owner, know, require you to push more miles a day, and then you get a good paycheck. The reason why we try our best to fix the clock for you, and then you drive more miles a day. You drive many hours, and you get good paycheck.
Speaker 3: Okay. And this is with Bravo Express? Yes.
Speaker 1: It is Bravo Express, which is Volvo, we have VM70 6, 776, and the VM80.
Speaker 3: How much is the payments on it?
Speaker 1: Alright. That's very good. So just let me let us go step by step. Okay? Let us go step by step.
You said that you have, twenty two years of, experience. Can you drive, like, 1,800 to 900 miles a day? If you drive, like, fourteen hours or sixteen hours, can you drive that?
Speaker 3: Yeah. I can drive after Monday, though.
Speaker 1: Alright. Very good. Just 800 or 900 miles a day in fourteen or sixteen hours. It's possible. And most of our drivers are going that.
So just if you can drive like 800 or 900, I'm sure you can drive a 4,500 or 5,000 miles in one week because we have a new truck to the speed governor of seven five. Seven five. That is clear governor. So I'm sure you can do that, and then most of drivers that we have here are able to do so. Anyway, in this company, we suggest you to stay at risk for four weeks on the load.
I don't know if you can do that. Four weeks, six to five weeks anymore. Can you do that?
Speaker 3: No. I ain't staying no four or five weeks out for nobody. No. Nobody? No.
Not we're not no four or five weeks. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: That's good. Alright. So we have a lease position. We have a lease position. If you join this company, you're entity from our company.
We give you a dispatcher who'll keep you busy every time and they work as own operator. About repayment, we pay per percentage. I mean, from weekly growth, you're gonna get a repent. Yeah. From weekly growth, you're gonna get a repent, and the company get a repent.
And from a 20% of the company, a company covers five things for you. A company covers all mechanical issues for you. A company covers for you. A company covers all the tire replacement for you. A company covers oil usage for you.
A company covers a dispatcher for you. But you, as a driver, from your 80%, you're gonna cover the range of track. As I told you, we have a Volvo and a Freirena Cascadia. If you shoot the Volvo, you're gonna pay only $1,800 off track and the trailer. If you shoot the Freirena Cascadia, you're gonna pay only $1,600 off track and the trailer.
And that your your your weekly expenses will be deducted from your 80% that you get every week. I mean, you pay also for insurance. You are 80 only $200. You pay for book only $145, and you pay for IFTA only $335. And you can be responsible for diesel and the tollers.
And here, what I can tell you is that most of drivers that we have in this company are getting an amount which is between 2,000 and 4,000 just after covering all their weekly expenses, after after paying all their weekly expenses. Yeah. Your your weekly expenses will be deducted from your early percent from your early percent that you get every week. Then after all deductions, you can get an amount which is between 2,000 and 4,000. But here, it is in case you are able to drive at with the seven fifty miles a day.
It is in case you are able to manage your diesel. It is in case you are able to to manage your toll roads. If you can do that, I'm sure you can get that with the because there is a demand more of Mandaire motor drivers are getting here just after covering everything. But if you cannot be able to drive the ten fifty, it may happen that you go under 2,000. Just here, reason why we fix the clock for you so that you push more miles a day, and then you get a good paycheck.
Yeah. And, another point is about bonus and the benefit. In this company, there is benefit. Like, if, yeah, they you will not worry about mechanical issues. You will not worry about the old tire replacement.
If there's any old tire, what you do, you just take a picture and inform us, and we can help you. We can replace and not retire with that problem. If if you need to change oil for your truck, what you do, you just inform us that you need to change oil for your truck, and then we can cover the program. No problem for you. It's not for yeah.
We can do that for you. And then the only thing that you should worry about is when you you blow out a tire. Yeah. When you blow out a tire, you can be responsible. Reason why we suggest you the reason why we suggest

🚛ATU Coverage - Five Dead in Terrell TX Truck Crash https://t.co/1hVYTNMpLg
Video Transcript AI Summary
Following a fatal crash in Terrell, Texas, involving a Hope Trans truck and resulting in five deaths, WFANA reported on the trucking company's practices. The driver admitted to falling asleep at the wheel. A former Hope Trans driver revealed the company pressured drivers to exceed the legal driving limit of eleven hours a day, falsified records, and backdated bills of lading. He was instructed to hide original paperwork.
Hope Trans is under scrutiny for listing a virtual address in federal records instead of a principal place of business, which should house driver and safety records for unannounced inspections. After the crash, the company changed its address to an apartment in Orlando. WFANA uncovered numerous trucking companies using virtual addresses, some sharing the same email. Federal regulators are reportedly "working on it," and Governor Abbott has asked the Texas DPS to expand its investigation.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Alright, guys. We've got some breaking news here tonight. WFANA out of Dallas has been covering our story coming out of Terrell, Texas. That's the crash that happened on Saturday. Five lives have been lost after a migrant driver fell asleep while driving and crashed into stalled traffic.
The same type of crash that we had happened in Austin, Texas, The same type of crash that we've had happened in Thomasville, Alabama. The same type of crash that we've had happened in Chattanooga. We have an epidemic right now of these migrant drivers coming in here being unvetted, unqualified, untrained, and running over our families out here on the highway. I just want to give credit to WFA and A. They did a great job on this story as the reporter has dispatched out to the address of this location for this company that was operating this driver.
They've also dug into the other drivers who were working for the company and they now have information that not only did we have a migrant driver, we've a company here that's being run from overseas and we have now confirmation from a driver that was employed by this agency that they were editing the log books. The same thing that we've been talking about at American Truckers United. When FMCSA showed up at Matt's, we told them on stage that foreign entities and foreign actors were editing log books here in The United States. The FMCSA still to this day has not done anything. They haven't done anything about these foreign actors editing log books.
And now we've got five people dead in Texas. Enough's enough. I say it was enough when Scott Miller died. I say it was enough when Mark Bryant died. I say it was enough when all the people in Austin, Texas died.
People have got to stand up and say something. They've got to say something to the DPS saying we don't want these drivers being imported in here and issued these non domiciled CDLs. We want American citizens who are trained to American standards, who are paid an American wage, and who are working on our American highways. Because who cares more about what happens to our American citizens than our own Americans? Know, if they're going to break immigration laws, they're going to break hours of service laws.
This guy was knowingly driving over his hours of service, backdating their bill of ladies, changing their logbooks. I don't even know why we're having to have this conversation, but we have to keep just time and time again just talking about these crashes and nobody is being held accountable. Heads need to roll. Heads need to roll. There needs to be people fired in Washington DC tomorrow.
There need to be people fired over this situation right here. It is unacceptable these people are dead under these circumstances. Absolutely. It was unacceptable that those people in Austin were dead. It's unacceptable the people in Chattanooga are dead.
It's unacceptable the people in Thomasville are dead. And it's time for people to be held accountable. So with that, I'm going to roll this footage. It's it's you're going to be shocked. You're going to believe what this reporter has uncovered.
Here we go.
Speaker 1: And is fighting for her life right now after losing her mother, father, brother and grandfather in that crash.
Speaker 2: Yeah, WFA just obtained a newly released police affidavit that reveals new details about what happened.
Speaker 1: Four hearses left the Dallas County Medical Examiner's office carrying the McKellar family to a funeral home in Fort Worth. Jabbar McKellar, his wife, Krishan, their son, Kason, and Jabbar's father, Billy, all killed in the crash. The only survivor in the vehicle, Evan McKellar, lost a foot in the crash and remains in critical condition. A GoFundMe account is now open to help the family with expenses.
Speaker 2: Investigators say it started when a semi plowed into the McKellar's pickup truck going 75 miles an hour. There was no sign the driver ever hit the brakes. Another woman named Nicole Gregory was killed when the semi jackknife and crushed her car.
Speaker 1: Police now say the truck driver admitted he fell asleep at the wheel
Speaker 2: Tonight's senior investigative reporter Tanya Eiser looks at the trucking company he worked for and listens to a former driver's disturbing allegations.
Speaker 3: My heart just kinda dropped like, man, that a week ago, like a week, two weeks ago, that could have been me.
Speaker 4: You're hearing from a trucker who drove for Hope Trans, the same company whose truck was involved in a crash Saturday that killed five people in Terrell. Court records say the driver in that deadly wreck told police he fell asleep behind the wheel. The truck driver we spoke to, who asked us to conceal his identity, says he's not surprised given what he experienced.
Speaker 3: There was just so many red flags.
Speaker 4: The truck driver provided us a copy of his employment agreement and showed us messages with company dispatchers, including records from a run he took last month from Atlanta to Phoenix.
Speaker 3: They pressured me into this load.
Speaker 4: By law, truckers can't drive more than eleven hours a day, then they must take a ten hour break. The 1,900 mile trip normally takes twenty seven hours of driving. He says he did it in thirty four hours.
Speaker 3: I next day shipped it from Atlanta all the way to Phoenix all for three hours of sleep.
Speaker 4: Here's the contract for that load, known as the bill of lading. It shows the departure date was backdated as well from June 9 to June 8.
Speaker 3: I could have quit. I could have said no. I was one paycheck loss away from my my wife and kids losing our house.
Speaker 4: The trucker also provided us this message instructing drivers to hide any original paperwork.
Speaker 5: This is coercion. They're coercioning this guy to do something that everybody from the company safety folks to the entire industry knows what they're doing is illegal.
Speaker 4: Del Prax owns Freight Validate, a company that tracks fraud and identity theft and trucking. Federal records show that Hope trans drivers were repeatedly cited for driving beyond the eleven hour driving limit.
Speaker 3: They just acted like they didn't know how to dispatch within the law.
Speaker 4: We also learned Hope Trans had listed a Tacoma address in federal records, but that address, a co working space. When our sister station showed up Tuesday, the staff said the company only got mail there. They didn't actually work there. Here's why that's important. When a trucking company registers with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, or FMCSA, it's required to list a principal place of business.
That means a real physical address, not just a mailbox or a P. O. Box. It's supposed to be where driver and safety records are kept, and where federal inspectors can show up unannounced to check those records.
Speaker 5: If I was an investigator and I went to look at those records, you know, within twenty four hours of the accident, where would I find them?
Speaker 4: But two days after the deadly crash, federal records show the company's address suddenly changed. Gum was the Washington state address replaced by an apartment in Orlando.
Speaker 5: Why do they have that address in Washington at a virtual office in the first place?
Speaker 4: Back in May, WFA uncovered trucking companies violating those rules, including 20 companies registered to this virtual mailbox on W Commerce Street in Dallas. So they wouldn't actually be physically here?
Speaker 3: No. They would not be working here physically. No.
Speaker 4: We also found nearly 700 companies tied to this single address in Signal Hill, California. And get this, roughly 500 of them list the same email, WTFFMCSAaol dot com.
Speaker 5: We're finding that a huge percentage of the bad guys list a virtual office address because they don't want to be tracked, don't want to be found.
Speaker 4: We reached out to the CEO of Hope Trans, Ashat Mogamedova, multiple times by phone and email. She did not respond. If you were describing this company to somebody that might be thinking about going to go work for them, what would you tell them?
Speaker 3: I would tell them stay far away. Companies like this, it's a very big problem. There's probably thousands and thousands of trucks just like these people on the road that have not gotten any sleep, and it's it's hard to put a stop to it.
Speaker 4: We reached out to federal regulators, they said they're working on it. On Tuesday, governor Greg Abbott tweeted out our story from Monday and said he's asked the Texas Department of Public Safety to expand its investigation. In Dallas, I'm Tonya Eisner.
Speaker 2: Well, if you're a truck driver or have ever driven for home trains in the past, our investigates team wants to hear from you. You can email them at investigates at WFA.

The speaker claims the previous administration allowed anyone into the country, providing them with work permits, green cards, and CDLs, enabling them to compete with American drivers. The speaker asserts that the previous administration was "the problem." The speaker states that they must now analyze data to determine how to reverse these policies and implement regulations that prioritize the protection of American drivers over international drivers.

Like, there was there was no there were they were letting everyone in and then giving, you know, work permits, you know, green cards, and then let people come in and go get CDLs and compete with American drivers. They were the problem. And now we have to look at the data and go, how do we unwind this? How do we put rules in place to protect the American driver, not the international driver?

Labor Dumping Destroyed the Trucking Industry Long Before Tariffs and Autonomous Trucks
reSee.it AI Summary
I was shocked to learn that Florida DMV employees have been arrested for selling Non-Domicile CDLs to non-citizens, with over 1,000 licenses potentially issued without proper training or vetting. American Truckers United had warned about the influx of illegal foreign labor in the trucking industry, particularly in Florida. Before 2021, non-citizens were not allowed to obtain CDLs, and I believe they still shouldn't be. It's crucial to demand the immediate revocation and ban of all non-domicile CDLs.

An investigation uncovered intentional corruption involving bribes paid to skip safety evaluations for driver's licenses. Five individuals were arrested for brokering illegal transactions, funneling individuals from as far as Miami to fraudulently obtain licenses. Hundreds, possibly over a thousand, fraudulent licenses were issued in the scheme, ongoing for over two years. Over $120,000 in illicit proceeds were seized.
Tax collector employees Bansalei Velazu and Demetrius Smith II face felony charges for issuing fraudulent IDs and official misconduct. Nirbus Rosales, Leonardo Gutierrez, Hung Du, Isbredia Perra, and Zola Gonzalez Pena were arrested as intermediaries. Myrna Fernandez was arrested for unlawful possession of a driver's license, allegedly paying to pass her exams.
The investigation will expand statewide to identify those who received licenses illegally. The Attorney General stated the situation exemplifies how the Biden border policy puts American families at risk. DMV offices and tax collectors were asked to look out for signs of corruption. A new program in Florida will protect ICE agents and federal authorities from doxing. Rioting is illegal in Florida and will be shut down quickly.

Speaker 0: Shortcuts. These were intentional acts of corruption where individuals paid bribes in exchange for skipping critical safety evaluations. The investigation also allowed us to arrest five additional individuals who are acting as brokers running local business that claim to assist with immigration paperwork, but instead arranged illegal transactions and funneled aliens from as far away as Miami to obtain licenses fraudulently. Let me be clear that putting untested, unqualified drivers, especially those with commercial licenses on our roads, is an unacceptable risk to every family in this state. These licenses were essentially sold, not earned.
That means we have individuals on the road possibly operating tractor trailers who never demonstrated the basic skills to do so safely. It's not a paperwork issue. It's a direct threat to highway safety and a betrayal of the public public trust. The scope of this investigation, yesterday, we seized over a 120,000 in illicit proceeds tied to this operation. Evidence suggests that hundreds, if not more than a thousand fraudulent driver's license were issued as part of this scheme.
It's been ongoing for over two years, and as con this investigation is continuing to be ongoing and will expand statewide as we work to identify those who receive licenses illegally and hold all parties accountable. Each license issued could result in felony criminal charges for the license holder, and our investigation will be expanded by our state partners to hold these individuals accountable. A search warrant was executed yesterday at a business in Callaway called Cubamax, which is involved in processing immigration documents. Again, I wanna commend the outstanding teamwork and partnership of our investigators. And it's a multi agency effort with close coordination between law enforcement, the tax collector's office, and other state and local partners.
This is the kind of teamwork it takes to root out corruption and protect our citizens. I'd also like to commend our tax collector, Chuck Purdue. As soon as he was made aware of this investigation, he became invest an investigator himself. He worked with us closely to make sure that these individuals were held accountable. Certainly a difficult situation when individuals in your office choose to do the wrong thing, but the important part is that we hold them accountable when we do that.
So, Chuck, thank you for for your efforts. So we wanna talk about the individuals that we arrested. The tax collector employees are Bansalei Velazu, age 37 of Panama City, charged with nine counts of DMV, employee issuing a fraudulent ID, which is a felony, and nine nine nine counts of official misconduct. Demetrius Smith the second, aged 30 of Panama City, on eight counts on of the DMV issuing a fraudulent ID and eight counts of official misconduct. And additional charges are anticipated as each fraud fraudulent driver's license can result in additional charges.
The intermediaries that we arrested, who were the individuals that the aliens would would contact, and they would be referred to the our two, tax collector employees were a Nirbus Rosales, aged 37. She was arrested on 24 counts of principal to d m a DMV fraud and 24 counts as a principal to official misconduct. Leonardo Leonardo Gutierrez, aged 32 of Panama City, seven counts of principal to DL fraud and seven counts of official misconduct. Hung Du, aged 58 of Panama City on 36 counts of principal to fraud and 36 counts of official misconduct. Isbredia Perra, age 44, Panama City, seven counts of principal to DL fraud and seven counts of principal to official misconduct.
Zola Gonzalez Pena, age 38, 12 counts. Also arrested but not identified as operating as a intermediary was Myrna Fernandez of Panama City on a charge of unlawful possession of a driver's license. It's believed that Fernandez obtained her driver's license fraudulently yesterday, paying to receive a passing grade on her exam and the skills exam. But to those who think that they can compromise public safety for profit, know this, we will find you. We will bring you to justice.
And to the people of Bay County, I want you to know we are committing to preserving the integrity of our institutions and the safety of our roads. Thank you, and I now like to turn it over to our attorney general.
Speaker 1: Thank you, sheriff. It's good to be in Bay County. This county is certainly blessed to have great law enforcement and leaders. I commend the sheriff and tax collector Chuck Purdue on working so well with, state law enforcement, homeland security, and and all of our law enforcement partners to ensure that we could we could bust these guys. I think today is yet another example of how the Biden border policy puts American families at risk.
Here you've got hundreds of of aliens that are cheating, that are breaking the law, that are buying driver's licenses, without taking the test, getting on the roads, putting everybody in danger. So, you know, if there's any silver lining to come out of this terrible, you know, discovery, it's that law enforcement worked very well together, continued to follow the breadcrumbs, and ultimately uncovered, you know, pretty widespread and advanced operation. So we know what happened here. If it happened here, there's a good chance it could be happening in a county somewhere else. So I ask our DMV offices or tax collectors around the state, pay attention, do a deep dive, look out for, you know, any signs of somebody taking cash on the side to help criminal aliens get driver's licenses.
Maybe that can happen in California, but not here in Florida. We are a rule of law state, and we will do everything we can to work with the Trump administration and our federal partners to enforce the law. We've been working up and down the state, ensuring that we're keeping people safe. We were in Brevard County earlier this morning where we highlighted a new program, to protect the ICE agents and the federal authorities that are coming into our state to enforce the law. In California, you've got leftist groups out there, that wanna reveal personal information.
They wanna dox agents. If you don't understand this word, if it's new to you, doxing is when you reveal personal identifying information with the purpose of intimidating, threatening, distracting from official duties. We want these guys here. They're protecting our families. And while they protect our families, we're gonna protect theirs.
So we've set up this new program where ICE and federal authorities can work with our troopers. And if there's any evidence of personal information getting out, we wanna know. We'll ensure that we're doing routine checkups and get a detail to protect the agents and their families. As we go into the weekend, I know there's been, you know, some rumblings about protests and demonstrations. We've all seen the horror in California with the destruction, the violence, the flames, the anti American behavior.
That doesn't happen here. In Florida, rioting is illegal. If you throw something, if you obstruct roadways, if you wanna cause damage or harm to law enforcement, businesses, or our citizens, we will find you and we will put you away for a long time. So to put everybody on notice, if you wanna participate in, you know, peaceful free speech, nobody respects that more than we do. If you wanna cause damage and destruction and engage in these violent demonstrations, we will shut it down fast.
So, again, a big thank you, to the law enforcement here. Thanks to the sheriff for a very good job well done. Thanks to our federal partners.

Many Non-Citizen truck drivers operating in the United States on Non-Domicile CDLs have been discovered working from Ghost Offices. These trucking companies are using fake addresses and stacking multiple motor carrier numbers into one location. Further proof that our agencies are selectively enforcing the law to the detriment of the entire trucking industry.
Video Transcript AI Summary
A WFA investigation revealed trucking companies are using fake addresses to evade federal oversight. Many companies register at virtual mailbox locations, which is illegal because the FMCSA requires a real physical address where records can be inspected. One building in California has nearly 700 freight companies tied to it, with roughly 500 using the email wtffmcsa@aol.com.
FreightValidate reported these issues but questions why action hasn't been taken. The FMCSA stated the address is a legitimate business address for a motor carrier consultant, but regulations state a motor carrier cannot designate the office of a consultant if the motor carrier is not engaged in operations at that location.
While some owner-operators may use virtual addresses legitimately, fraudulent carriers have much higher crash rates. The FMCSA is now using facial recognition to verify new applicants, but this doesn't address existing fraudulent companies. FreightValidate believes focus should be on who is operating the company, not who is behind the webcam.

Speaker 0: Some trucking companies are registered to a fake address. Heidi in plain sight. They're evading federal oversight and putting public safety at risk. In tonight's WFA investigation, senior investigative reporter Tanya Izoran covers how hidden carriers are slipping through the cracks.
Speaker 1: West Commerce is home to many businesses. There's a body shop, a crab joint, And this building right here, 20 trucking companies call it home.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: A WFA investigation found all those companies are registered to 539 West Commerce, a virtual mailbox spot called physicaladdress.com.
Speaker 2: We are a mail pendulum service, and that's all that we do is to send our mail.
Speaker 1: For as little as $8 a month, anybody can set up shop here. No truck required. It's also illegal, and here's why. When a trucking company registers with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, or FMCSA, it must list its principal place of business. It's where the company is supposed to keep driver and safety records and where federal regulators can show up to inspect those records.
That must be a real physical address, not just a mailbox or a PO box. So they wouldn't actually be physically here?
Speaker 2: No. They would not be working here physically. No.
Speaker 1: So if, like, the federal government wanted to come check records for that company or any of those companies, they wouldn't come here?
Speaker 3: No. It's a red flag.
Speaker 1: Del Prax owns FreightValidate, a company that tracks fraud and identity theft in trucking. He says this is how hidden carriers thrive, using virtual addresses or PO boxes to dodge scrutiny and operate in the shadows.
Speaker 3: That the bad guys are less apt to register properly.
Speaker 1: Take a look at this quiet building in Signal Hill, California. Doesn't look like the headquarters of hundreds of trucking companies. Right? But federal records show nearly 700 freight companies tied to this single address. Roughly 500 of those companies list the same email.
WTF fmcsa@a0l.com.
Speaker 3: How ridiculous and absurd is this?
Speaker 1: CRAX reported this exact address to federal regulators two years ago.
Speaker 3: Because if we all know about it and we reported it, why is something not being done?
Speaker 1: FMCSA said in a statement, the agency has confirmed that the address is a legitimate business address for a motor carrier consultant who represents many small motor carriers based in California. But according to FMCSA's website, a motor carrier may not designate the office of a consultant if the motor carrier is not engaged in operations at that location.
Speaker 3: It's impossible to have that be an actual place of business.
Speaker 2: My argument is we know there's something wrong.
Speaker 1: The agency did not specifically address the use of the email wtffmcsa@a0l.com. Back in 02/2023, Prax saw a pattern, about 200 carriers a month registering with PO boxes or virtual mailboxes.
Speaker 3: We would notify FMCSA that says, hey, this guy should not be issued as authority.
Speaker 1: He says the agency listened, and now they flag those applications with warning letters. Just because a trucking company uses a virtual address like here on West Commerce Street doesn't mean they're up to no good.
Speaker 4: Some of these owner operators live in their truck. So a lot of times, they will look for, hey. You know, I don't really have a physical address.
Speaker 1: Not everybody who does that is
Speaker 2: a bad guy. Most of the bad guys, that's what they're gonna do.
Speaker 4: Agreed. I think that's an accurate statement. That's what the bad guys are gonna do 99% of the time.
Speaker 1: It's also a public safety matter. Fraudulent carriers have 80% higher crash rates.
Speaker 3: When you're driving down the road with your kids in your car and there's some guy next to you that maybe got his authority illegally, are you really safe next to that guy?
Speaker 1: FMCSA registration director Ken Riddle addressed the issue on a podcast last fall.
Speaker 0: How do we prevent bad actors from getting into the system?
Speaker 3: Complete the facial scan.
Speaker 1: He said FMCSA is now trying facial recognition to verify new applicants, but it currently only applies to newcomers.
Speaker 0: From a registration perspective, we wanna be able to verify the identity of the individual registering.
Speaker 1: The long term goal is to apply it to everyone, but Prax isn't convinced.
Speaker 3: We don't need to know who's behind the webcam. We need to know who's behind the operation of that company.
Speaker 1: In Dallas, I'm Tonya Eiser.

The recent tragic crash in Austin, TX, which resulted in five fatalities and eleven injuries, involved a driver who had limited English proficiency and likely held a Non-Domicile CDL. This incident highlights a serious issue with unqualified drivers on our roads. I am calling for an immediate investigation into the licensing and training processes for drivers, as well as a national probe into the organizations that permit untrained individuals to operate vehicles. We must prioritize safety and integrity on our highways before more lives are at risk.
@atutruckers - American Truckers
ATU has confirmed: the driver behind today’s horrific Austin, TX crash—killing 5 and injuring 11—barely spoke English. Experts say he was almost certainly on a Non-Domicile CDL. Special interest groups have flooded our roads with unvetted, unqualified, untrained drivers, endangering us all! DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION into this driver’s licensing, vetting, and training—or lack thereof! MORE CRITICALLY, LAUNCH A NATIONAL PROBE into the entities allowing illiterate, ill-trained operators onto our highways! RESTORE SAFETY, SECURITY, AND INTEGRITY TO OUR ROADS—ACT NOW BEFORE MORE LIVES ARE LOST!
