Illegals Driving Semis Kill Again

If they weren’t here to begin with, these people would still be alive.

That’s it. It’s the same with the illegal immigrant crime statistics Tennessee compiled that I wrote about yesterday.

Had these illegals not been allowed into the country, those statistics would not exist. The number would be ‘zero’ or close to it.

Instead, in Tennessee, it was 21,648 violent crimes last year

And on a lonely stretch of Indiana state road evening before last, it was four more Americans dead, crushed by the impact of a semi-truck driven by another illegal alien.

Four more.

Just before 4 p.m. on Tuesday, February 3, Indiana State Police responded to a collision on State Road 67 near County Road 550 East, about three miles from the Ohio state line, in the kind of flat, open farmland where you can see trouble coming from a mile away.

Gert Pretorius, 44, of Geneva, Indiana, was driving a 2019 International semi eastbound when he slowed for traffic ahead. Behind him, another semi, a 2022 Freightliner driven by 30-year-old Bekzhan Beishekeev of Philadelphia, did not stop.

Instead of braking, Beishekeev swerved left, crossed the center line, and struck a westbound Chevrolet van head-on.

The van was driven by Donald Stipp, 55, of Portland, Indiana. His passengers were four men from Bryant’s close-knit Amish community: Henry Eicher, 50. His sons are Menno Eicher, 25, and Paul Eicher, 19. And Simon Girod, 23, a family friend.

According to updated local reports, the semi driver, Bekzhan Beishekeev, was arrested on a bench warrant not related to the crash, meaning he was already wanted elsewhere.

…Following an initial investigation, police determined that the driver of a semi, 30-year-old Bekzhan Beishekeev, was traveling east on SR 67 near CR 550 E when he did not stop for another slowed semi tractor. The eastbound semi then swerved into the westbound lane and crashed head-on into a van.

According to the Jay County Sheriff’s Office, Beishekeev was arrested through a bench warrant on Wednesday night, meaning that his charges are not currently related to the crash. A bench warrant is used for individuals who fail to comply with certain court-ordered measures, usually in another county or state.

It turns out that the bench warrant was an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer.

Where’s Sarah Hoyt’s surprised face when you need it?

(2-4-26) Bekzhan Beishekeev (30) of Philadelphia, PA is being held in the Jay County Jail on a Bench Warrant after yesterday’s tragic crash that took the life of four local Amish residents.

According to the really in-depth and, frankly, eye-opening FreightWaves article, this illegal was driving for a super sketchy trucking network that they’ve long had their eye on – the Chameleon Network.

What Chameleon Carriers Actually Are

Before I lay out what we’ve found, let me be clear about something that gets lost in every one of these conversations: chameleon carrier identification is not just about a shared address.

A chameleon carrier operation is about concealment. It’s about constructing a network of entities designed to evade regulatory detection and enforcement. The connective tissue can be any combination of shared Vehicle Identification Numbers moving between authorities, common officers or registered agents across multiple DOT numbers, identical or overlapping phone numbers and email addresses, the same branding and logos regardless of which company name appears on the door, common insurance brokers and policies, shared Electronic Logging Device infrastructure, overlapping financial services and accounting providers, coordinated recruitment pipelines from the same geographic origin, sequential authority registrations suggesting pre-planned entity creation, and shared terminal facilities where multiple authorities operate from the same physical location.

And in this most recent crash, the expert industry eyes at FreightWaves recognized the tell immediately.

These aren’t the Sikhs of recent illegal infamy and death. These are illegal imports from Kyrgyzstan.

The Truck

The logo was the giveaway. 

People have spent months investigating a network of trucking companies operating out of the Chicago metropolitan area that share addresses, phone numbers, branding, and, I now know, the same trucks operating under different DOT numbers. The triangular mountain logo on that Freightliner has appeared in my research dozens of times.

The carrier operating the truck in Tuesday’s crash has not been officially confirmed by Indiana State Police. But that logo belongs to a network I’ve been documenting, carrier by carrier, crash by crash, violation by violation.

And now four men are dead.

The Network

Let me show you what hiding in plain sight looks like.

Sam Express Inc. (USDOT 3235924) is based in Palatine, Illinois. Its primary officer is listed as Saipidin Tutashov.

Read that last name again: Tutashov.

Now look at these carriers:

• Tutash Express Inc (USDOT 3487141)
• Tutash Express 1 LLC (USDOT 4005857)

The network is literally named after the guy running Sam Express. They didn’t even try to hide it.

Every one of those officer names, Tutashov, Zhalaldin Uulu, Musaev, Murzapazylov, Arystankulov, is Kyrgyz. These are names from Kyrgyzstan, the Central Asian nation whose phone number (+996) appears publicly on Sam Express’s website and social media.

It doesn’t stop in Illinois. Sam Express Corp is registered as a foreign corporation in California with a registered agent named Ruslanbek Olzhebaev, yet another Kyrgyz name on the paperwork.

The driver who killed four people on Tuesday? Bekzhan Beishekeev. Also a Kyrgyz name.

This is a pipeline.

Here’s a quick tutorial on how the magic works. 

One of their trucks killed four people in Indiana yesterday. There are HUNDREDS on our highways.

Shut it down.
ALL OF IT.

Those magnetic door signs sure are handy and convenient as all get out, aren’t they?

(How do you say, ‘F YEAH!‘ in Kyrgyz?)

There are lots of locals in the comments on the few posts about this story – and let me say that the dearth of news coverage is tragic.

Some of them are very telling. That stretch of country road, as lonely as it is, has apparently turned into a trucking super route, with semis continually moving through there at significant speeds. It would make you wonder why, when there are interstates all around that would obviously be more direct and faster. Or so you think until you keep reading and hit an explanation that also had to do with yet another accident with basically the same players.

There’s a weigh station on the interstate that many of these truckers are attempting to avoid.

Just to the north east of me. Wonder if he was avoiding the scale on 69 South. This could’ve been avoided if they only allowed American citizens to possess a CDL!! Get these people out NOW!
About a month and a half ago we were involved in a hit and run with one of these…

Truckers only used to avoid those mandatory pull-overs on the freeways because their loads were questionable. Now, it’s the drivers who are hiding and have every incentive in the world to use alternative routes, even if they are a lengthier bypass.

They’ll make it up by speeding.

US-30 in Northern Indiana is a super speedway absolutely full of foreign truckers. Be careful up there.

Apparently, Indiana State troopers have also stepped up to scrutinize these semis, which is helping drive more of these questionable big rigs onto the rural backroads.

It’s better than being nailed for your phony magnetic DOT numbers on top of  ‘no speaka da English’ at a weigh stop.

WOW 🚨

ICE agts were at the Weigh station in New Buffalo (MI) making sure Truck Drivers knew how to speak English, those who didn’t got pulled in…

Watch how they ask this man where he’s going

So far, besides his royal battles with chief offenders over issuing CDL licenses, like governors Gavin Newsom and Kathy Hochul, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has gone to war with driving schools, too. 

He’s managed to shut down a healthy and impressive heap of them, but it’s truly like playing whack-a-mole.

Duffy Closes 7,500 CDL Schools in ‘Wild West’ Crackdown

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has closed 7,500 commercial driver training schools in a first year of enforcing federal laws governing trucking to increase road safety.

Recently, he listed significant actions directed toward the trucking industry among other key transportation achievements under “a year of decisive wins under President Donald J. Trump’s America First Agenda.”

Three top trucking-related accomplishments made his total list of accomplishments:

• Removing over 11,500 drivers who failed to meet English-language proficiency standards.
• Shutting down 7,500 CDL training schools that failed to meet readiness standards — up from 3,000 school providers removed by December from a federal Training Provider Registry.
• Enforcing ELP compliance in 49 states (excluding California).

DOT stated on Jan. 21, “After numerous deadly — and avoidable — accidents on America’s roads caused by dangerous and unqualified truck drivers, Secretary Duffy cracked down on the trucking industry, on unqualified commercial drivers, and on states like California that refuse to put safety first.”

You have to keep whacking away.

But without concentrated and targeted enforcement efforts from local and especially state jurisdictions, there’s only so much the feds can do.

An Amish family is shattered. A wife and mother lost her husband and her boys.

Why? Because some wealthy foreign national launched a scam trucking company and put an illegal immigrant with a fraudulent CDL on Indiana’s roads. Foreigners get rich and Hoosiers pay for it in blood. pic.twitter.com/BUGBMEWSUT

And this will keep happening.
