俄亥俄州辛辛那提——今年早些时候，一名乌兹别克斯坦卡车司机在俄亥俄州撞死一名年轻男子，再加上多起非法移民卡车司机卷入致命车祸的案件，在俄亥俄州西南部引发了一场关于欺诈、犯罪、移民问题，以及卡车运输行业监管漏洞如何将美国人置于危险境地的广泛讨论。
托比亚斯·“托比”·福赛思是一名21岁的守门员，来自俄亥俄州，就读于马萨诸塞大学洛厄尔分校男子足球队。7月5日，当局称，42岁的乌兹别克斯坦公民贝赫佐德·阿斯拉罗夫驾驶半挂卡车在俄亥俄州麦迪逊县的71号州际公路上追尾了福赛思的本田雅阁，福赛思不幸身亡。阿斯拉罗夫是通过拜登政府的多样性签证抽签项目入境美国的。
根据法庭文件，事后调查显示，尽管阿斯拉罗夫持有俄亥俄州商业驾照，但他的英语水平不足以在无需使用谷歌翻译的情况下与出警的州警沟通，且据称他在致命车祸后移除了卡车上的行车记录仪，试图掩盖或销毁证据。
“我们绝不能让像阿斯拉罗夫这样连我们的道路标识都看不懂、无法与执法人员沟通的司机，驾驶8万磅重的重型卡车行驶在美国的高速公路上，”交通部长肖恩在车祸后在X平台上发帖称。

在俄亥俄州西南部，一位名为“Nodawolf”的博主一直在向日益增长的粉丝群体敲响警钟，称近年来在洛夫兰、米德尔敦和阿斯拉罗夫居住的梅因维尔等社区涌现出大量卡车运输公司，其中许多由乌兹别克斯坦国民拥有或运营，这些公司可能助长了导致福赛思及全美其他多人丧生的不安全行为。
由于在线报道遭到死亡威胁，福克斯新闻数字频道同意为“Nodawolf”匿名。他表示，自己的研究聚焦于俄亥俄州西南部一个由乌兹别克斯坦关联企业组成的互联网络，其中包括据当地伊斯兰中心官网显示，曾为该中心建设捐款的公司。
“所有这些公司都存在英语能力违规问题，还篡改电子日志设备（ELD），”“Nodawolf”说道，电子日志设备用于追踪卡车司机的驾驶时长，旨在强制执行联邦规定的司机最长连续驾驶时间限制。
位于梅因维尔的伊斯兰中心告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：“仅凭慈善捐款或参与社区筹款活动，不应被解读为与该伊斯兰中心或其领导层存在所有权、雇佣、合同、商业或其他业务关系。”
福克斯新闻数字频道的调查发现，在梅因维尔及俄亥俄州西南部周边社区注册了数百家卡车运输公司及其他卡车运输实体，其中数十家是近年来注册的。另一项针对被认定与当地乌兹别克斯坦社区有关联的公司的调查发现，其存在严重的联邦机动车安全管理局（FMCSA）安全违规行为，包括司机因未达到英语 proficiency 要求及其他联邦卡车运输违规行为被处罚。

“作为一名父亲，这真的让我很担忧，”“Nodawolf”告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“很明显，他们要么不理解我们的法律，要么不在乎我们的法律，要么就是了解我们的法律并加以利用。”
“Nodawolf”曾报道过乌兹别克斯坦卡车运输网络在社交媒体平台Telegram上的交流情况。其中一个名为“UzbegimAmerica”的频道经常提及梅因维尔的乌兹别克斯坦社区。法庭文件显示，该频道的所有者法尔霍德·法齐耶夫是一名来自乌兹别克斯坦的疑似非法移民。
特朗普政府在清除构成道路安全威胁的外国卡车司机方面取得了重大进展——包括本月早些时候在亚利桑那州尤马区开展的多机构行动，逮捕了95名非法外籍卡车司机——直击美国南部边境的人口和毒品走私活动核心。
国土安全部、交通部和司法部近日宣布联合打击卡车运输和商业驾照（CDL）欺诈行为，目标包括欺诈性领证、未经授权雇佣、身份文件造假、空壳公司及其他犯罪活动。此次行动包括对23个州的200多所驾驶学校进行检查、基于1000多条线索开展调查、针对持有商业驾照的非法移民实施执法行动，以及成立一个新的跨州司法部专项工作组，专注于卡车运输相关欺诈和道路安全问题。
一位匿名接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访的资深卡车运输行业人士（出于安全考虑要求匿名），描述了一种在移民社区中流行的新型欺诈套路，名为“变色龙运输公司”：从表面上看是多家独立的卡车运输公司，但实际上共享相同的司机、车辆和运营网络。他表示，这种运作模式始于经营者先成立一家“所谓合法”的公司，随后创建更多运输公司和运营资质，同时在这些公司之间共享核心资产。

这位行业专家表示，其目的是“将安全责任分散到多家公司身上”。他说，与其让一家运输公司积累过多的检查和违规记录，不如将其分散到多个汽车承运人资质之下。
“如果10家不同的公司各有10次检查和10项违规行为，对安全评级的影响不会那么大，”他说。“但如果是一家公司有10次检查和10项违规行为，这家公司会被重罚。”
他还表示，这些独立公司还可以作为应急方案。如果一家运输公司被关停、失去保险或因安全问题声誉受损，“他们可以立即将所有设备、司机和其他一切转移到其他公司名下”，这位行业资深人士说。“他们的运营永远不会停止。根本无法将他们彻底关停。”
他进一步指控称，这种结构还可以协助货物盗窃，某家公司在获得高价值货物后就消失不见，而更广泛的网络则通过其余实体继续运营。“他们基本上只是损失了一家空壳公司，但却拿到了价值500万美元的iPad，”他说。
这位行业专家表示，在他看来，这种模式尤其危险，因为它允许公司在存在安全问题的情况下继续运营，同时据称雇佣可能没有合法工作权限的美国司机。他说，经营者可以将司机归类为独立承包商而非雇员，从而避免常规的雇员I-9身份验证流程，使这一情况更难被发现。
“如果你雇佣一批来自第三世界国家、刚到美国的人当司机，不管他们是否合法入境，你觉得他们会有多好地维护设备、遵守法律？”他说。
交通部上月告诉福克斯新闻，该局上月针对的7所卡车驾驶学校位于俄亥俄州。
联邦机动车安全管理局近日向图兰CDL学校发出了拟撤销资质的通知，这是一家位于米德尔敦的公司，曾面向乌兹别克语使用者宣传CDL培训，广告暗示学生可以无需先学习英语即可获得CDL，还有谷歌评论称客户仅用一周就拿到了驾照。
非法移民的“不可原谅”罪行引发共和党参议员与民主党州长之间的州际冲突：“你应该感到羞耻”
“‘规则是怎么写的’和‘实际发生的情况’是两回事，”商业车辆培训协会副主席安德鲁·波利亚科夫在福赛思车祸后不久告诉福克斯28频道哥伦布分部。“我们现在看到的是，有很多人在实施欺诈，采取各种恶劣手段发放商业驾照。”
维克多·路易斯的公司Load Secure总部位于辛辛那提，负责验证进入其网络的司机身份。他告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，当地出现的承诺让 prospective 卡车司机在短短一周内拿到CDL的广告，立刻让他提高了警惕。
“卡车运输本身就是一项极具危险性的活动。从本质上讲，你就是在道路上驾驶一枚40吨重的导弹，”路易斯说。“居然有人认为有人能在一周内获得驾驶这种车辆的资格，而且还可能不会说英语，这根本说不通。”
路易斯表示，他的公司还发现大量非居住司机——即持有美国某州颁发的商业驾照，但并未在该州永久居住的外国司机。他说，进入Load Secure网络的司机中，约有15%至20%属于这一类别，并估计全国范围内长途卡车司机中这一比例可能达到20%左右。
“他们是否合法入境，我不清楚，但他们本质上都是外国国民，”路易斯说。他认为，长途卡车运输对移民尤其有吸引力，因为司机可以一次在道路上生活数周，无需在工作地点附近拥有固定住所。
路易斯表示，货物盗窃和更广泛的供应链安全是他最担心的问题之一。
“我们看到，这类非居住司机群体中，货物盗窃的比例很高，比例极高，”他说。“这正对我们的供应链造成严重破坏。首先，这极其危险，其次，供应链非常不安全。我们不知道货物是否被人动过手脚。这暴露了我们供应链的漏洞。”
俄亥俄州机动车管理局告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，该局正在与联邦机动车安全管理局协调，审查该州的非居住商业驾照持有者。最初发放的约5000份非居住驾照中，约3500份仍有效，这意味着约1500份在审查过程中已失效。
9月16日，福克斯新闻报道称，作为全国范围内打击欺诈性CDL的行动的一部分，移民海关执法局（ICE）在新泽西州逮捕了两名乌兹别克斯坦非法移民卡车司机。

“我们已经开始处理涉及卡车运输行业欺诈、浪费和滥用职权的1000多条线索，”马伦在上月的新闻发布会上说。“我们将优先调查那些涉嫌收取报酬帮助非法移民绕过驾照和CDL要求的雇员。”
9月2日，在俄亥俄州布朗县，一名持有加州CDL的印度籍男子驾驶半挂卡车与50岁的布伦达·沃森的车辆迎面相撞，沃森当场死亡。司机曼吉特·辛格后来被证实是非法移民，移民海关执法局在新闻稿中宣布，已对其发出拘留令，并以严重 vehicular 杀人罪提起诉讼。
“一个州的监管失误会变成所有州的公路威胁，”俄亥俄州律师梅赫克·库克告诉新闻数字频道。“共和党州长不能仅仅因为反对拜登的政策，就认为本州不会受到拜登边境危机的影响。”
福克斯新闻数字频道已联系俄亥俄州州长迈克·德温的办公室置评。
上月，移民海关执法局开通了举报欺诈性CDL的热线。
“已经有太多美国人的生命因为那些本不该上路的非法外国人拿到了CDL而逝去或永远改变，”马伦在新闻稿中说。“移民海关执法局和我们包括交通部在内的联邦合作伙伴将打击CDL欺诈行为，确保不会再有一名美国人死于鲁莽的非法外国人驾驶半挂卡车之手。”

How an Uzbek truck driver’s fatal crash exposed troubling fraud trend in Middle America: ‘Chameleon carriers’
Industry veterans are warning of a scheme where operators dodge inspections, facilitate cargo theft and never fully shut down

CINCINNATI, OH – A young man killed by an Uzbek truck driver earlier this year in Ohio, along with several instances of illegal immigrant truck drivers involved in fatal crashes, has sparked a larger conversation in southwest Ohio about fraud, crime, immigration and how gaps in trucking industry oversight are putting Americans at risk.
Tobias “Toby” Forsythe, a 21-year-old goalkeeper from Ohio on the University of Massachusetts Lowell men’s soccer team, was killed July 5 when authorities say a semi-truck driven by 42-year-old Uzbek national Bekhzod Asrarov, who entered the country under the Biden administration’s diversity visa lottery program, rear-ended Forsythe’s Honda Accord on Interstate 71 in Madison County, Ohio.
It was later determined, according to court documents, that Asrarov could not speak or understand English well enough to communicate with responding state troopers without the use of Google Translate, despite holding an Ohio commercial driver’s license, and that he allegedly removed a dashboard camera from his truck after the fatal crash in an effort to conceal or destroy evidence.
“We cannot let truckers like Asrarov, who can’t read our road signs or speak to law enforcement, drive 80,000-pound rigs on America’s highways,” Transportation Secretary Sean posted on X after the crash.

In southwest Ohio, a researcher known as Nodawolf has been sounding the alarm to his growing follower count about a vast network of trucking companies, many of them owned or operated by Uzbek nationals, that have popped up in communities like Loveland, Middletown, and Maineville, where Asrarov resides, in recent years and could be contributing to the unsafe practices that took the life of Forsythe, and many others across the country.
Nodawolf, who Fox News Digital granted anonymity due to the death threats he’s received from his online reporting, said his research has focused on what he describes as an interconnected network of Uzbek-linked trucking companies in southwest Ohio, including companies that have donated money toward construction of a local Islamic center, according to the center’s own website.
“All of them have English violations and have manipulated ELDs,” Nodawolf said, referring to electronic logging devices that track a trucker’s driving hours and are intended to enforce federal limits on how long drivers can stay behind the wheel.
The Islamic Center, located in Maineville, told Fox News Digital that a “charitable contribution or participation in a community fundraising activity, by itself, should not be interpreted as evidence of an ownership, employment, contractual, commercial, or other business relationship with the Islamic Center or its leadership.”
A Fox News Digital review identified hundreds of trucking companies and other trucking entities registered in Maineville and surrounding southwest Ohio communities, including dozens that were registered in recent years. A separate review of companies identified as connected to the local Uzbek community found serious FMCSA safety violations, including drivers cited for failing English-proficiency requirements and other federal trucking violations.
TRUMP ADMIN TRUCKING CRACKDOWN LANDS 51 IMMIGRATION DETENTIONS, 36 ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY VIOLATIONS

“This really concerns me, you know, as a father,” Nodawolf told Fox News Digital. “I mean, it’s clearly obvious that they either don’t understand our laws, they don’t care about our laws, or they know our laws and they’re taking advantage of it.”
Nodawolf has reported on Uzbek trucking networks communicating on the social media platform Telegram. One of those Telegram channels, named “UzbegimAmerica,” has routinely mentioned the Uzbek community in Maineville. Court documents show the owner of that channel, Farkhod Faiziev, is a suspected illegal immigrant from Uzbekistan.
The Trump administration has made significant progress on the issue of removing foreign truck drivers who pose a danger being removed from the road – including a recent multi-agency operation in Arizona’s Yuma Sector, which led to the arrest of 95 illegal alien truck drivers earlier this month – striking at the heart of human and drug smuggling operations at the U.S. southern border.
The Departments of Homeland Security, Transportation and Justice recently announced a coordinated crackdown on trucking and CDL fraud targeting fraudulent licensing, unauthorized employment, identity-document fraud, shell companies and other criminal activity. The effort includes inspections at more than 200 driving schools across 23 states, investigations based on more than 1,000 leads, enforcement operations targeting illegal immigrants with commercial licenses and a new multi-state DOJ task force focused on trucking-related fraud and roadway safety.
A trucking-industry veteran with decades of experience who spoke to Fox News Digital under the condition of anonymity for his safety described a developing fraud scheme popular with immigrant communities known as “chameleon carriers”, a network of trucking companies that appear separate on paper but, he said, share the same drivers, trucks and operations. The arrangement starts when operators establish one company that is “quote-unquote legitimate,” he said, then create additional carriers and authorities while using the same underlying assets across them.
ILLEGAL TRUCKER CASES FUEL GOP PUSH TO CRACK DOWN ON CDL MILLS AS DEMS LARGELY SILENT

The point, the industry expert said, is to “spread out their safety liability across multiple companies.” Rather than allowing inspections and violations to pile up under one carrier, he said, the operation can distribute them among multiple motor-carrier authorities.
“If they have 10 inspections and 10 violations across 10 different companies, that doesn’t hurt the safety rating as much,” he said. “But if it was one company that had 10 inspections and 10 violations, that one company is going to get hammered.”
The separate companies can also serve as a contingency plan, he said. If one carrier is shut down, loses insurance or becomes too damaged by safety problems, “they’re able to immediately move all of the equipment and drivers and everything under one of the different companies,” the industry veteran said. “Their operation never stops. There’s no way to shut them down.”
He further alleged the structure can facilitate cargo theft, with a company disappearing after obtaining a high-value shipment while the broader network continues operating through its remaining entities. “They lost one of their shell companies, basically, but they just got $5 million in iPads,” he said.
The industry expert said the model can be particularly dangerous, in his view, because it allows companies to keep operating despite safety problems while allegedly using drivers who may not be legally authorized to work in the United States. He said operators can make that harder to detect by classifying drivers as independent contractors rather than employees, potentially avoiding the ordinary employee I-9 verification process.
“If you’re using a bunch of people from a third-world country that just showed up in the United States as drivers, whether they’re here legally or not, how well do you think they’re going to maintain their equipment and be able to follow the laws?” he said.
Seven of the trucking schools targeted by the Department of Transportation last month are located in Ohio, DOT told Fox News last month.
A Notice of Proposed Removal was recently issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration for Turan CDL School, a Middletown-based company that has advertised CDL training to Uzbek speakers, including advertisements suggesting students could obtain a CDL without first learning English, as well as Google reviews from customers claiming they earned their licenses in as little as one week.
ILLEGAL ALIEN’S ‘INEXCUSABLE’ CRIME SPARKS INTERSTATE CLASH BETWEEN GOP SEN, DEM GOV: ‘YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED’
“There’s ‘what do the rules say’ and then ‘what’s happening on the ground,” Andrew Poliakoff, vice president of the Commercial Vehicle Training Association, told Fox 28 Columbus shortly after the crash that killed Forsythe. “We’re seeing now is that there are a lot of people committing fraud, and engaging in a variety of bad actions issuing commercial driver’s licenses.”
Victor Louis, whose Cincinnati based company Load Secure verifies the identities of drivers entering its network, told Fox News Digital that he has seen local advertisements promising prospective truckers a CDL in as little as a week immediately raise red flags.
“Trucking is such an inherently dangerous activity. Essentially, you’re driving a 40-ton missile down the road,” Louis said. “To think that someone is going to be certified to do that within a week, that may or may not speak English, like that doesn’t make any sense.”
Louis said his company is also seeing a significant number of non-domiciled drivers, foreign drivers who hold commercial licenses issued by a U.S. state despite not having their permanent residence in that state. He said roughly 15% to 20% of drivers entering Load Secure’s network fall into that category and estimated the figure could be around 20% among long-haul truckers nationwide.
“Whether they’re here legally or not, I don’t know, but they are essentially foreign nationals,” Louis said. He argued that long-haul trucking can be particularly attractive to migrants because drivers can spend weeks at a time living on the road rather than maintaining a permanent home near their workplace.
Louis said cargo theft and the security of the broader supply chain are among his biggest concerns.
“What we see with that market of non-domiciled drivers is a high propensity of cargo theft, an extremely high propensity,” he said. “It’s wreaking havoc on our supply chain. Number one, it’s extremely dangerous and number two, it is very unsecure. We don’t know if things are being tampered with. This exposes our supply chains.”
The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles told Fox News Digital that it is reviewing the state’s nondomiciled commercial driver’s license holders in coordination with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Of the roughly 5,000 nondomiciled credentials originally issued, about 3,500 remain active, meaning approximately 1,500 are no longer active as the review continues.
On Sept. 16, Fox News reported that ICE arrested two Uzbek illegal alien truck drivers in New Jersey as part of nationwide crackdown on fraudulent CDLs.

“We are starting to go into those thousand leads of fraud, waste and abuse into our trucking industry,” Mullin said in a press conference last month. “We’re going to prioritize going after employees that are suspected of accepting payments to help illegals bypass driver’s license and CDL requirements.”
In Brown County, Ohio, on Sept. 2, an Indian national with a CDL out of California crashed his semi-truck head-on into the car of 50-year-old Brenda Watson, who died at the scene. The driver, Manjit Singh , was later determined to be an illegal immigrant and ICE announced in a press release that a detainer was placed along with a charge of aggravated vehicular homicide.
“One state’s regulatory failure becomes every state’s highway threat,” Ohio attorney Mehek Cooke told News Digital. “Republican governors cannot assume their states were insulated from Biden’s border crisis simply because they opposed his policies.”
Fox News Digital reached out to Ohio Governor Mike DeWine’s office for comment.
Last month, ICE launched a tip-line for reporting fraudulent CDL licenses.
“Too many American lives have been lost or permanently changed because illegal aliens who have no business being on our roads have been granted CDLs,” Mullin said in a press release. “ICE and our federal partners, including the Department of Transportation, will be cracking down on CDL fraud so that not one more American life is lost to a reckless illegal alien behind the wheel of a semi-truck.”
