Why This Case Matters

We are investigating issues affecting drivers from all states who leased trucks or were dispatched through Takeoff Fleet or an affiliated carrier, including drivers with Illinois connections through orientation, equipment pickup, repairs, or deliveries. We are also investigating issues affecting brokers, shippers, receivers, and insurance carriers. The claims and allegations under investigation by our office are not yet proven in court and remain under investigation or pending in litigation.

Kreitman Law is gathering information from drivers, dispatch and office staff, and industry professionals who may have been affected, want to take action, or intend to engage in protected whistleblowing.

Listing an address does not mean every company named operated there at the same time.

Investigative Notice
The entities listed above are included based on publicly available data, regulatory records, and ongoing investigation. All descriptions reflect allegations, findings, or patterns under review and have not been proven in court unless otherwise stated. Companies are identified by USDOT and MC number, and references are to those specific entities only, not to any other company with a similar name.

Why This Network Matters

Patterns across these entities may include:

  • The same trucks and trailers appearing under two, three, or four carrier authorities
  • Pay statements for different carriers issued from one back office
  • Shared addresses, officers, and registered agents across carriers
  • Insurance cancellations and carriers going inactive
  • Drivers directed to check in under a carrier name that did not match their paperwork
