Transportation provider accused of hiding freight revenue from owner-operators

Owner-operators in Michigan are suing Red Line Logistics Inc. and its officials for allegedly understating freight revenue to drivers, according to a proposed class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on September 17.
