By the time Johnathon Lue burned alive in the back of a GardaWorld armored truck in May, evidence had been piling up for years that the company was operating dangerously.
In 2013, the U.S. Department of Transportation visited Gardaâs corporate offices in Boca Raton and found âsystematic breakdownsâ in the companyâs approach to safety.
In 2015, a worker in Lueâs branch called the state, saying he was afraid of how badly the companyâs trucks were maintained.
In 2017, investigators learned repair requests at a Garda branch in Ohio had not been read for months.
In 2019, federal regulators warned a division of the company its trucks were crashing too often and told it to make changes.
