A federal judge is allowing several trucking companies to press claims they were cheated by Pilot Flying J, the truck-stop company owned by Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and his family. The judge also granted the firm's motion to dismiss seven of 11 civil claims against Haslam, Pilot's CEO. Haslam has not been charged with a crime. The trucking companies claim they were cheated out of fuel rebates and discounts promised by the nation's largest diesel retailer.
