| Title: | Ohio Man Pleads Guilty to Using False Identity to Obtain a CDL |
| Date: | October 24, 2002 |
| Type: | Investigation |
| Summary: | Reubin R. Pete pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati, OH, to making false statements to FMCSA concerning commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs). Pete, who has never held a valid CDL and is unqualified to drive a tractor-trailer, assumed the identity of a truck driver licensed in North Carolina. He then obtained a CDL in Ohio and began driving tractor-trailers in interstate commerce for Transcontinental Systems, Inc. In the process, he falsified documents related to CDLs, driver’s logs, drug testing, and employment applications. |
