The commission said the truck line's scheme "consisted simply of giving to the truck drivers travel orders which would show authority to operate that particular truck for number of days, while the duplicate travel order which was to be sent to the commission (and was the only means the commission had to determine the amount of fees owned) showed much less amount than was actually due." J. Caskie Collet, commission chairman, said investigation showed that the Potashnick company had failed to pay "between $800 and $900 due the state" in extra carrier fees.
