Deceit in the Desert continued
Three individuals were involved in the conspiracy. The first is a driver who seldom took radio calls while at Eagle. he always had personals, all high-dollar trips. Many of them were fed to him by the daytime phone operator, who was also his girlfriend. though an airhead, she was in a strategic position. Third was her brother, the salesman, a slick talker who contacted hotel and corporate accounts. this, of course, enabled him to easily steal those accounts away from Eagle when the betrayal occurred. As a former burglar on parole, perhaps he souldn't have been trusted, but hindsight is always clearer. The salesman told hotel and corporate customers that Eagle was going out of business, and that they should call his new company, Legacy Transportation.
Why couldn't he just get new accounts for Legacy? why did the Treacherous Three need to steal the rolodex, steal Eagle radios, have the phones turned off, and play other dirty tricks? To them, it's not just a matter of winning; the real satisfaction comes from devastating and humiliating their victim. Legacy was formed as a subdivision of Arnett Transportation, owner of Yellow, Courier, and Checker, and easily the biggest taxi company in the Phoenix area. the details of this deal are unknown, but the Treacherous Three seemed to be running Legacy, using Yellow and Courier radios and mdt's to dispatch. (152.285 and 152.42 mhz) Between dispatching calls they gleefully proclaimed their plans to further attack the company they betrayed.
