Wis. trucking firm fined twice for false logbooks

Rick Romell of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel analyzed federal records and reviewed hundreds of pages of documents to find that JDC Logistics Inc., a Franklin, Wis., firm has been among the most heavily fined trucking companies in the country. Logbook falsification by truckers at the 589-driver firm was so widespread, federal auditors discovered last August, that the company was slapped with a $92,000 fine. That followed a $63,000 fine in 2004 for many of the same problems.
