About this episode
Trucking Company Hired A Killer. Yaimy Galan Segura, Owner Castellano 03 Trucking LLC, the trucking company that hired Rogel Aguilera-Mederos, gave a deposition after the accident. Segura's deposition was made public recently and we have a partial copy. In the writings, she admitted she knew nothing about the trucking industry. Rather she had a neighbor that owned a small company and was doing well. With advice from friends and researching the internet, Yaimy started her very own trucking company. In an arbitration, also obtained by TalkCDL, she disputed the fines she had received. With barley over $10, 000 in fines Segura went to arbitration to dispute. Records show that she was fined for numerous violations including one count is for violating 49 CFR 382.301(a) (“No employer shall allow a driver, who the employer intends to hire or use, to perform safety-sensitive functions unless the employer has received a controlled substances test result from the [named entities] indicating a verified negative test result for that driver.”). She was also fined for Ten counts are for violating 49 CFR 395.8(e)(l) (“No driver or motor carrier may make a false report in connection with a duty status.”). Examples of these counts involve driver reports indicating that the driver was in a vehicle’s sleeping berth, although at such times the driver was driving the vehicle.
