SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - A federal judge has ordered a Sioux Falls trucking company to pull its rigs from the road because it's not carrying liability insurance. 

Action Carrier already was on probation because of earlier violations. The judge granted a motion by U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary
Peters for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against the motor carrier. A hearing is scheduled for Tuesday at the federal courthouse in Sioux Falls.

Action Carrier owner Michael Walsh did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment. In October 2005, he and the company were put on probation for five years, fined more than $200,000 and ordered to pay more than $126,000 in restitution.

Why were you seeking a "comment" from Michael Walsh? Maybe he should contact you to seek your comment.
