Fla. transportation co. sidelined for “flagrant” violations
A Florida company that transports both agricultural workers and fresh produce failed to ensure that its bus drivers were actually licensed, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which has ordered its fleet off the road.
Billy R. Evans Harvesting, Inc., has been declared by FMCSA to be an imminent hazard to public safety, after a federal investigation that found numerous violations. The company operates a dozen passenger buses for transporting agricultural workers and six trucks for hauling fresh produce from harvesting fields to processing plants.
