Owner, drivers busted in logbook forgery scheme

It’s a tale that seems ready-made for Halloween, involving a Wolf, a Mummy and a frightening case of logbook falsification.

Ronald Wolf, the former owner of RBL Enterprises Inc. in Port Treverton, PA, has been indicted by a grand jury on charges of conspiring to falsify drivers’ logs, destroying documents containing correct information and dispatching truckers on trips he knew exceeded their hours-of-service limits.

Kenneth Heneisen, a driver for the company, was also indicted.

Earlier in September, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Office of the Inspector General reported that Matthew Mummy, another driver, was sentenced to one year of probation for his involvement in the case. Mummy admitted that he concealed his knowledge of the activities of Wolf and other RBL employees.

Mummy himself falsified his logbook about 14 times between February and March of 2004 to hide the excessive hours he had driven.

And on Sept. 14, three other drivers from RBL – Ryan Flick, Albert Crouch and Dennis Gemberling – pleaded guilty to one count each of logbook falsification. The three admitted to falsifying their logbooks on 25, 42 and 150 occasions, respectively.
