The co-owner of a Louisiana trucking company was sentenced for making false statements to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration on an operating authority application, according to federal court documents. Pamela Parker indicated she had no history with trucking, when in fact, she did.
In May 2013, FMCSA conducted a compliance review for Parker Trucking Co., operated by Pamela Parker and one other unnamed individual. FMCSA discovered several violations during the review, resulting in an “unsatisfactory” safety rating for the company. Consequently, Parker received an out-of-service order on Aug. 15, 2013.
Less than one month after being placed out of service, Parker filed an application for motor carrier and broker authority. When asked if she has ever had a relationship with an FMCSA-regulated entity within the past three years, Parker indicated she had not.
Parker was indicted in November 2015 and pleaded guilty earlier this year. She was sentenced to one-year probation and fined $1,500 plus a $100 assessment fee.
