Fluder pleaded guilty on October 16, 2000 to charges of presenting false drug and alcohol tests of his truck drivers to the U.S. Department of Transportation during 1996 and early 1997. Fluder provided false negative tests and fabricated doctor’s signatures to hide the fact that company drivers never performed required testing.
