Feds shut down five bus companies; action follows series of LA-area crashesIt's hard for me to imagine a railroad that would let anyone stay on the job who failed a drug test, or who hadn't maintained qualifications.

The Federal Motor Carrier Administration has ordered the LA-based bus company called "It's Good Promotion" to stop doing business immediately. The company, based in East Los Angeles, ran buses from LA to Mexico.
Investigators uncovered something even bigger: they say It's Good Promotion was illegally allowing at least four other "unsafe bus companies," that had previously been shut down by the government, to continue operating, by using the It's Good Promotion name and federal registration number to evade authorities.

In their investigation, the FMCSA found serious violations from It's Good Promotions bus operations, including:
Allowing a driver who tested positive for illegal drugs to continue driving
Using drivers that didn't have valid U.S. commercial driver's licenses
Failing to make sure its buses were properly repaired and maintained
