Trucking Company White Hawk Carriers Inc Tied to Illegal Alien Florida Deadly Crash Banned from Operating Outside of California
By The Blog Source
The California trucking company White Hawk Carriers, which was involved in the three-person Florida Turnpike crash last week, has been barred from operating outside of California. The company has a lengthy history of infractions, including dangerous trucks and unregistered drivers, according to federal documents.
According to a Tuesday update to the U.S. Department of Transportation database, White Hawk Carriers' insurance was revoked, and the company is now listed as "not authorized to operate as a motor property common carrier" on its license.
In just 24 inspections, White Hawk accumulated 25 truck safety infractions, including drivers working on suspended licenses in January and February of 2024, according to federal safety records. Its trucks received numerous flags for tire issues, insecure cargo, and faulty brakes.
After a White Hawk truck performed an incorrect U-turn on the Turnpike in St. Lucie County on August 12, three South Floridians lost their lives. There are concerns over state monitoring because the driver, Harjinder Singh, was an illegal alien who was able to secure business licenses in both California and Washington.
After a string of infractions including its role in the deadly Turnpike collision, White Hawk Carriers seems to have lost its license to operate outside of California, according to the Miami Herald. Currently, "Insurance cancelled - NOT AUTHORIZED to operate as a MOTOR PROPERTY COMMON CARRIER" appears in federal licensing records.
In addition to the company's lengthy safety record, the crash has attracted national attention due to Singh's acquisition of commercial licenses while in the country illegally. "Asylum seekers or illegal aliens are NOT allowed to receive this!" said Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who also said that a federal inquiry into Singh's licensing and White Hawk's operations is currently in progress.
Inspection records reveal a concerning past. White Hawk drivers received nine citations for unsafe driving in the past two years, including failing to stay in lanes, speeding in work zones, distracted driving, and ignoring emergency vehicles. According to federal data, drivers were placed out of service in 13.4% of White Hawk's roadside inspections, which is twice the national average. Equally serious were equipment problems: several inspections revealed trucks with underinflated tires, insecure cargo, or faulty brakes.
A 30-year-old Florida City driver, a 54-year-old Miami man, and a 37-year-old Pompano Beach lady were killed in the collision on August 12. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Singh tried to make an unlawful U-turn across the Turnpike, striking the victims. Singh is still being held and is currently facing charges.
The demise of White Hawk Carriers highlights a larger problem of how dangerous drivers continue to operate — until tragedy compels regulators to intervene — as federal investigators continue their investigation.
