As of mid-November 2007 - Filed April 1998 in U.S. District Court, Southern District of Indiana. OOIDA has requested a March 2008 trial in this case, which challenges the carrier’s practices related to fuel tax credit escrow funds and general escrow funds.

Mayflower had asked for the case to be dismissed, but in September the judge denied that request and said that the case would move forward. OOIDA was scheduled to file its case management plan with the court by Nov. 15.

“I am pleased that we will finally be able to present our claims to a jury,” said OOIDA’s Johnston. “We believe that once the jury hears the facts of the case, they will hold Mayflower fully accountable for its violation of federal law.”
