It's been revealed that Caminantes Trucking, a company connected to a devastating accident in Colorado last year that killed five, tried to purchase insurance for their previously uninsured truck barely an hour post-tragedy. Court documents highlight:
The deadly incident occurred in June 2022 along Interstate 25 when a commercial truck hit a stopped car at 75 mph.
Jesus Puebla, the 26-year-old truck driver, now faces five counts of vehicular homicide. Notably, Caminantes had nearly 100 trucks operating nationwide without insurance.
Although the company, officially named after owner Jose Mauricio Coreas, has a grim history linked to unlicensed drivers and fatal accidents, it's only been fined a mere $21,460 for this catastrophe.

Tweets further highlight a twisted tale. While @TimothyDooner points out that USPS took several months to sever ties with Caminantes after the fatal incident, Justin Martin @supertrucker reveals a massive oversight. He suggests the mere usage of PS Form 5500, which, if implemented by supervisors, could have pushed the company out of business, thereby saving lives.
Caminantes Trucking is still on the road. @FMCSA fined them $21,460 telling me all the crashes and violations aren't enough to shut them down@USPS says they are still contracting with them to carry mail
