  1. The 120-page document filed in federal court in Knoxville, where Pilot is based, alleges that members of the company's sales force preyed on smaller trucking companies by reducing the amount of rebates they were owed for buying certain amounts of fuel.

    Special Agent Robert H. Root alleged a "conspiracy and scheme to defraud executed by various Pilot employees to deceptively withhold diesel fuel price rebates and discounts from Pilot customers ... for the dual purposes of increasing the profitability of Pilot and increasing the diesel sales commissions of the Pilot employees participating in the fraud."

    The affidavit was filed to secure the search warrants used in Monday's raid on the Pilot Flying J headquarters.

    AP Photo/Jay LaPrete, FileBrowns owner Jimmy Haslam knew of a fraud scheme at his travel center company, according to documents released in federal court on Thursday.


    One employee identified only as a confidential source told investigators that the rebate scheme was discussed during sales meetings attended by Haslam and Pilot president Mark Hazelwood.

    The informant said the practice was known by a variety of euphemisms ranging from "manual rebates" to "screwing."
