Thousands of pounds of beef stolen in TN 

The regulations on trucking can be very specific and restrictive. Recent proposed changes to the hours of service by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration could introduce some added flexibility for drivers

The Grainger County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee is investigating the disappearance of 80,000 pounds of beef stolen from a meat processing facility, Foodmarket reports.

Two tractor-trailers picked up shipments from Southeastern Provision in Bean Station but never reached their destinations. Authorities suspect a fraudulent trucking company orchestrated the theft, valued at $350,000. The beef was intended for Kentucky and Michigan customers who reported the missing deliveries.

The stolen meat remained unaccounted for, leaving authorities searching for the beef and those responsible.
