N.M. Revokes Towing and Trucking Permits of 89 Companies
Associated Press
SANTA FE The operating permits of 89 trucking, towing and other transportation companies have been revoked by the state Public Regulation Commission.
The agency announced Wednesday that it had revoked the permits because the companies failed to file appropriate documents with the commission.
The commission says state law makes it unlawful for any motor carrier to operate within the state without having filed and maintained proof of its financial responsibility.
The commission took action against the companies this week. If the companies continue to operate in violation of state law, they face a penalty of up to $10,000 per day for each violation.
In all, the commission said it has taken action against 296 companies since the beginning of May.
