SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - A Sioux Falls trucking company has agreed to follow the law if it can keep operating while a federal
court case is pending, but a judge has yet to sign off on it.

In November, Action Carrier Inc. was ordered to keep its rigs off the roads because it wasn't carrying liability insurance. The order was in response to a request from the U.S. Transportation secretary for a temporary restraining order and
preliminary injunction against the motor carrier.

The company already was on probation because of earlier violations.

In October 2005, Action Carrier and its owner, Michael Walsh, were ordered to pay $328,000 in fines and restitution and put on
probation for five years for breaking federal transportation laws.

To the judge in this case...DON'T let Mr. Walsh get away with this. I can promise you, he WILL laugh in your face if you do. Walsh thinks he is above the law and will say whatever he has to in order to get his way...PLEASE DON'T AGREE TO IT!
