Iowa trucking firm tied to deadly smuggling shut down
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration ordered Pyle Transportation to an out-of-service status after a safety review found multiple deficiencies. The action follows the July discovery of eight undocumented immigrants dead in a semi-trailer owned by the Schaller, Iowa, company, with the driver indicted but the owner saying he did not know of the deaths. The firm, previously in trouble for unpaid federal employment taxes, cannot operate while appealing is possible.
