Federal officials announced that four motor carriers have been sidelined following an ongoing investigation into a multiple fatality crash that took place in Indiana last month.
On March 12, 2026, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that the following four carriers tied to a high-profile crash that took place in Indiana in February had been taken “OUT OF SERVICE” by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA):
- KG Line Group Inc
- Tutash Express 1 LLC
- RPM Hauling
- Valcins Trucking LLC
“And we’re not done yet. A coordinated CHAMELEON CARRIER network – where operators change their names and DOT numbers to HIDE from law enforcement – is responsible for this horrific crash! The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) will leave NO STONE UNTURNED until every bad actor is held RESPONSIBLE,” Duffy wrote in a social media post.

Duffy said that the four carriers were tied to a crash that took place February 3, 2026, in Jay County, Indiana.
The crash occurred as Bekzhan Beishekeev, 30, was driving a semi truck eastbound on S.R. 67. He reportedly failed to slow for traffic and then swerved into the westbound lane of the highway, striking a van carrying six people.
Four of the van occupants were killed in the crash.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) later issued a statement referring to Beishekeev as a “criminal illegal alien” who was improperly issued a commercial driver’s license (CDL) by the state of Pennsylvania.
On February 13, USDOT announced that Beishekeev’s employer AJ Partners had been taken out-of-service along with “two other SHADY carriers connected to AJ Partners – Tutash Express and Sam Express.” Officials also said that certification had been yanked from “sham school, Aydana, that helped the illegal trucker get a license.”
In recent weeks, FMCSA has signaled increasing focus on stamping out bad actors and chameleon carriers from the trucking industry.
