Shortly after the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration ordered NFI Interactive Logistics to pay a former driver $276,000 for refusing to violate hours-of-service regulations, the Cherry Hill, N.J.-based company has announced it will file an objection to the decision.

The driver was represented in the lawsuit by Paul O. Taylor of the Truckers Justice Center, Burnsville, Minn.

According to an OSHA document, the driver-turned-whistleblower was hired by NFI on May 31, 2011, to haul bottled water for Poland Springs Water. The driver, William Brown, had made the trip several times in the past. Brown, an OOIDA member from Medfield, Mass., updated his log book, completed the pre-trip inspection and took off in one of NFI’s day-cab tractors.
