Interrupted authority and written vetting rules at center of New Mexico crash lawsuit

This article is contributed content from an independent writer. It does not represent the views or opinions of FreightWaves or any of its subsidiaries. A trucking company hauling an Amazon Prime trailer had lost its operating authority, returned to service and accumulated safety violations before a crash injured three people on a New Mexico interstate, according to a lawsuit challenging Amazon’s carrier selection and oversight practices. New Mexico State Police cited the truck’s driver for careless driving after the collision. The amended complaint filed against Amazon in July, alleges Amazon allowed Road Warriors Logistic to transport freight before the carrier met Amazon’s own requirement for 180 days of active operating authority.
