Worthless

No point in calling a complaint number if they continue to make the same violation.

WTF is an Ohio truck doing in NYC?
Posted on Tue, Jul 31 2007 at 05:28 PM
It's amazing that vehicles actually can travel freely from state to state.

And go on to park in bike lanes and endanger cyclists in other states! It's really awesome!

If it's a commercial truck, my guess would be insurance fraud.

It's not insurance fraud at all. The company is based in Ohio and that is where the trucks are registered. It's the same as UHaul having all of their trucks registered in another state.

Probably fraud. This is not a rental truck. This is a local business.
BTW, this exact truck tried to hit me today in the bike lane on Clinton. He veered in to park and nearly crushed me. I smacked on his truck and he veered back out into traffic. As I passed, he pulled back in to park in the bike lane.

The company that owns this truck is called Midtown Express.

The address clearly indicated on the homepage of this Manhattan based 3rd party cable installation service indicates that it is based in NYC. As well as their direct statement on the homepage "Based in Queens City, NY, we provide experienced, reliable and well-trained manpower to Time Warner Cable in New York City and its surrounding burroughs."
By their own admission, they are committing insurance fraud.

This particular vehicle has $1,325 in unpaid parking tickets.

how can you find out a person's outstanding ticket balance?

Go to http://nycserv.nyc.gov/NYCServInquiry/NYCSERVMain and enter the plate number.

tterca - Choose the first item in the drop-down: "Parking Tickets". Then search by plate #, not ticket #.

Some more research shows that although Midtown Express is based in Queens, the parent company is Cable Express, based in Ohio. In 2006, Cable Express was bought by Dycom Industries of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. A WHOIS search of midtownexpress.net turns up Dycom Industries Inc of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida as the domain registrant.
So, the question is this: can a Ohio company doing business in Queens register its vehicles in Ohio even though they are being used and are based in Queens?

I called the company home office in Ohio. They have NY vin specific Insurance through Liberty Mutual in accordance with NY Law. They are in no way commiting insurance fraud. Not exactly sure how you are getting at "fraud" in the first place. Also asked why registered / plated in OHIO. When vehicles were purchased they were located in Ohio. As renewals come due will be registering them in NY. Makes since to me.
