TFI International (Hurst): HOS violations spiking right as plaintiff billboards multiply along I-45
TFI's ELD logs show 14 hours-of-service violations in the last 90-day roadside cycle — peer median is 3. Six new plaintiff-firm billboards installed along I-45 between Houston and Conroe over 60 days, all variants of 'TRUCK ACCIDENT? 1-800-…'. Driver Out-of-Service rate sits at 12.4%, more than 2x national peer median, concentrated at two terminals. This is the leading indicator of a single severe loss going non-linear: tired drivers, hostile billboard environment, and a fleet running through known choke points.
