The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration announced April 9 it has issued an imminent hazard out-of-service order — effectively a shutdown — to Carnell Pompey, a one-truck owner-operator doing business as Mortise Trucking Company.
FMCSA says in the last 12 months, Pompey has been issued six out-of-service orders for violations found in roadside inspections, including several brake, tire and steering component violations.A subsequent FMCSA investigation uncovered failure to comply with drug and alcohol testing violations and failure to adhere to federal hours-of-service regulations, along with Pompey’s failure to inspect, repair and maintain his equipment properly.
FMCSA has revoked Mortise’ operating authority and suspended its DOT number.
