The Illinois-based C & D Transportation, Inc. has been ordered to cease operations immediately by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration after the company “willfully violated an out-of-service order and continued to operate by renting vehicles on the effective date of the out-of-service order,” says an announcement by the FMCSA.
The company’s drivers were not held to comply with CDL requirements, English proficiency requirements or vehicle weight limits, FMCSA says, and they committed duty status violations. The company’s “flagrant disregard for compliance with safety regulations poses an ongoing and continuing imminent hazard to public safety and must be discontinued immediately,” FMCSA says.
