Today 10-4 marks 65 YEARS OF J.B. HUNT…….🫡

Back in 1961, J.B. and Johnelle Hunt started with just five trucks, hauling rice hulls in Arkansas. Nobody could have known then that those five trucks would grow into one of the biggest transportation companies in America.

From the old days of chrome, CB radios and paper logs to today’s high-tech transportation world, J.B. Hunt has been moving America for 65 years.

Happy 65th Anniversary, J.B. Hunt!
Here’s to the drivers, mechanics, dispatchers and all the folks who kept those wheels turning for six and a half decades. 🇺🇸🚛

Did you or someone you know work for J.B. Hunt over the years ?

They Bought Legit Trucking Companies. Then The Cargo Disappeared.

From March 2024 through June 2025, a cargo theft operation used legitimate trucking companies to obtain real shipping contracts for high-value freight. Once the loads were picked up, prosecutors said the cargo was stolen instead of being delivered to its intended destination.

The scheme targeted televisions, laptops, appliances, vacuums, LED lights, solar panels, shoes, tires and other merchandise.

Prosecutors estimated the losses at at least $2 million.

Investigators said members of the operation purchased established trucking companies or fraudulently used legitimate carriers so they could bid on authentic freight contracts and appear trustworthy to shippers and freight brokers.

In March 2024, 28-year-old Arshpreet Singh purchased Z&F Transportation LLC, an established Texas trucking company, for around $22,000.

Later that month, a co-conspirator operating under the company’s name picked up a load of televisions in Fontana, California.

The shipment was supposed to be delivered to Florida.

It never arrived.

In May 2024, co-conspirators purchased another carrier, Skyways Trucking LLC.

Prosecutors said the company was then used to obtain and steal shipments containing laptops, televisions, solar panels and other merchandise.

Some of the loads were booked through legitimate freight brokers, including Uber Freight.

The drivers would pick up the cargo under valid shipping contracts and then fail to deliver it to the agreed destination.

The thefts were tied to locations across Southern California, including Fontana, Vernon, Santa Fe Springs, Perris, City of Industry, Long Beach, Compton, Commerce, Pico Rivera, Chino and Moreno Valley, as well as Grand Prairie, Texas.

On September 29, 2026, after a seven-day federal trial in Los Angeles, a jury found 28-year-old Arshpreet Singh and 31-year-old Vikramjeet Singh guilty of conspiracy to commit theft from interstate or foreign shipments.

Arshpreet was also convicted of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

Vikramjeet was acquitted of the wire fraud conspiracy charge.

Arshpreet faces up to 20 years in federal prison.

Vikramjeet faces up to five years.

Both are scheduled to be sentenced on January 20, 2027.

Truckers Sue Motive Technologies Over Alleged Mass Surveillance via AI Dash Cams

• Truck drivers Adam Dean and Christian Erickson have filed a class action lawsuit against AI dash cam company Motive Technologies Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging "mass surveillance" and improper collection of license plate data.

• The lawsuit claims that Motive's AI-powered dash cam systems, equipped with Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPRs), identify and record every vehicle in view, violating California's ALPR Law by failing to publicly post required policy and usage information.

• Plaintiffs allege invasion of privacy, emotional distress, and heightened concerns due to surreptitious surveillance, stating that Motive's systems are used by "nearly 100,000 customers and 1.3 million drivers," leading to widespread tracking of Americans.

• The suit further contends that Motive gathered data including vehicle images, license plate numbers, time-stamped locations, and biometric identifiers without the drivers' consent, and seeks $2,500 in damages per class member, punitive damages, and an injunction.
