Known colloquially as &#8220;white trucks&#8221; due to their unregistered status, these vehicles were used by the drivers to transport seafood and other products from Yamaguchi&#8217;s Shimonoseki City to locations across Chiba and Kumamoto Prefectures. The arrests were made following operations that spanned from August to October last year, with the drivers receiving payments ranging from 300,000 to 5,600,000 yen. Investigations revealed that the clients opted for these services due to the restrictive working hours imposed on legally registered &#8220;green number&#8221; trucks, which threatened their income levels. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/fukuoka-news\/20240416\/5010024062.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NHK<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fnn_truck-photoac_2024_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fukuoka Police Detain Seven for Operating Unauthorized Trucking Business\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-162353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fnn_truck-photoac_2024_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fnn_truck-photoac_2024_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fnn_truck-photoac_2024_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fnn_truck-photoac_2024_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Photo from Photo AC <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
