Majestic Cargo Lines Owner Denies ELD and Pay Allegations

By Big Rig Daily Staff

Majestic Cargo Lines, a South Bend trucking company, is facing allegations involving electronic logging devices and truck driver pay, according to Overdrive. The outlet reports that Indiana State Police brought the FBI into the investigation. The company's owner denies the allegations, and Overdrive's report reports no criminal charges. Sources: Overdrive.

The allegations concern changes to electronic logs that would reset available driving hours and claims that truck drivers were shorted on pay. They are accusations under investigation, not established findings against the company or its owner.

The owner's response

Owner Nikola Gavrilovic told Overdrive that the claims came from a dispatcher and owner-operators he had fired. He denied that the company grants improper hours resets and cited a recent Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration audit that he said the fleet passed.

Those statements are the owner's response. They should not be presented as an independent agency determination that resolves every allegation. Equally, the existence of an investigation does not prove the accusations.

Overdrive described a call to the company's dispatch line in which a question about getting hours reset received a response directing the caller to a Viber group. Gavrilovic confirmed the group existed and said truck drivers could ask questions there, but denied that the company grants the requested resets.

Accounts differ

The outlet interviewed two former truck drivers whose accounts did not agree. One supported the company; the other supported the allegations. That disagreement is important context for readers assessing a story that has not reached a reported charging or court stage.

The coverage also raises concerns about remote log changes being difficult to detect in roadside records. That is a concern described by the reporting, not proof that a particular log was altered in a particular trip. Overdrive's report does not identify a specific enforcement finding or court decision establishing the alleged conduct.

For fleets and truck drivers, hours records and pay records are related but distinct subjects. A claim about logging practices should not automatically become proof of a wage claim, or the other way around. Each allegation would need its own supporting records and investigative findings.
