Lawyers for Pilot Flying J and CEO James A. “Jimmy” Haslam are moving to halt the few remaining active cases against the travel stop chain as they await action on a proposed settlement of rebate skimming allegations pending in a federal court in Arkansas, reports The Tennessean.
In motions filed in federal courts in Alabama and circuit court in Knoxville, Tenn., Pilot’s and Haslam’s lawyers are asking that the suits filed by a half dozen trucking firms be dismissed because they say the suits haven’t established that any fraud occurred, reports Walter F. Roche Jr. of The Tennessean. Joining in the motions to dismiss are two one-time top Pilot sales executives who are at the center of the rebate allegations.
