  "account": "FR8 Solutions and 22 independent drivers have settled a federal civil RICO lawsuit, according to the source. The drivers alleged that the company altered rate sheets and concealed revenue from hauled loads. The case, which alleged a $7,000 gap in trucking rates, was dismissed with prejudice by a Florida court on July 28. The settlement details were not disclosed in court filings. While the lawsuit contained allegations against FR8 Solutions and three other companies, the settlement agreement finalized between FR8 Solutions and the drivers resolved the matter. Judge Wendy Berger allowed either party a 60-day window to request a final order or reopen proceedings.",
