SOLID WASTE INDUSTRY IS IMMERSED
IN THE TACTICS OF ORGANIZED CRIME
"There is a substantial body of evidence that organized crime
controls much of the solid waste disposal industry in New York
State and elsewhere. There is also evidence that the criminal
activity is not confined entirely to organized crime, but is also
engaged in by other unscrupulous entrepreneurs; and that there
have been instances of multinational corporations not hesitating
to jeopardize public health and safety."
This quotation is taken from the opening paragraph of a report
titled, ORGANIZED CRIME'S INVOLVEMENT IN THE WASTE HAULING
INDUSTRY, first released in June, 1986, and re-released in July,
1987. The report pulls together information from Congressional
and state investigations over the past 20 years but stresses
information gained during hearings held by New York State
Assemblyman Maurice Hinchey in 1984.
"The objective has been to produce an accurate assessment of the
waste disposal industry and the extent of criminal activity
within it, as well as to discuss policy alternatives needed to
correct the problems." The bulk of the report focuses on New
York. Nevertheless, the report gives a good picture of how the
solid waste hauling industry works. It is not a pretty picture.
Organized crime--in a narrow sense the Mafia, and in a broader
sense any large gang of ruthless thugs who set out to profit at
the expense of the public and who succeed to such an extent that
they can operate with impunity--has gained influence from time
to
time in many American industries. But the solid waste industry
has been particularly prone to takeover by organized crime.
The basic feature of organized criminal involvement is the
"property rights" system by which one hauler maintains his right
to pick up garbage from a particular customer. (We use "his"
and
"he" throughout this discussion because we don't know of any
women running waste hauling operations.)
Garbage is a low-tech business. You need a strong back and a
truck and a place to dump the stuff, and not much else. Under
these circumstances, you would expect a lot of competition
between haulers. The "property rights system"
minimizes
competition. Under this system,
a hauler buys the right to pick
up waste from a "stop" (the Mafia's name for a customer). The
price of a stop is 30 to 50 month's income
from that stop. So
you buy a stop and then for 30 to 50 months you make not a penny
picking up the garbage there. Naturally, during that period (and
beyond), you need to be guaranteed that no one
else will come
along and offer to haul garbage from that stop
for a lower price.
The Mafia (or other unit of organized crime,
such as a large
waste hauling company) guarantees that
no one will bid against
you for the right to service that stop.
If anyone DOES bid
against you, the Mafia (or someone else) intimidates the
newcomer, threatens him, breaks his legs or even murders him.
Murder is not necessary very often. Newspaper stories about a
little violence go a long way toward getting the message out:
don't compete against the people who now haul the garbage in this
town or that town. Often just a brick
through a truck windshield
is sufficient to get the message across.
The vehicle for establishing and enforcing the property rights
system is the "trade waste association,"
the membership of which
is made up of the waste haulers working in an area. The
associations are syndicates typically controlled
by organized
crime through the usual tactics of economic reprisal,
intimidation, violence and, when necessary, murder.
The trade
waste association can dictate the price that waste haulers will
receive for their services and it can prevent customers from
switching to another hauler to get better terms. Sometimes the
labor union representing the waste haulers
will also be
controlled. The garbage strike becomes
another weapon for
enforcing the property rights system (in addition to serving the
legitimate function of gaining a fair wage and better working
conditions for workers).
Organized crime seeks to corrupt law enforcement
officers and
public officials through bribes, payoffs and
even intimidation.
And tactics developed by the mob are now used successfully by
"legitimate" businessmen in the waste hauling industry.
Large waste haulers come in for special notice in the Hinchey
Report. The sordid history of SCA Services is outlined
briefly-they were up to their ears in organized crime and illegal
waste disposal in New Jersey and New York, including allegations
by witnesses under oath that SCA had murdered
two competitors.
SCA was run by such successful businessmen that Waste
Management,
Inc.--the nation's largest waste hauler--bought
them out for $423
million in late 1984. SCA was at
that time the nation's second
largest waste hauler.
When Waste Management absorbed SCA, BFI
of Houston, TX, became
the No. 2 hauler in America. The
Hinchey Report devotes a short
but revealing chapter to BFI's organized crime
connections and
tactics. Hinchey cites instances in which BFI
has been accused
by officials of price fixing (with SCA)
in Georgia, of bribing a
state senator in Texas, of fixing prices in six counties in New
Jersey, of paying off health officials in Pennsylvania, and of
charging competitors exorbitant prices for allowing them to dump
in a BFI landfill in Colorado. These are
the tactics of
organized crime, as the Hinchey Report makes
clear.
The Hinchey Report makes good reading because all our friends in
the waste hauling industry appear, and because their ways of
doing business are spelled out so clearly. The quotations are
vivid, so the individuals come alive. For example, Anthony
Corallo, boss of the Luchese crime family
is riding in a
chauffeur-driven Jaguar that he does not know is bugged.
The
chauffeur looks in the rear-view mirror and sees they're being
tailed by law enforcement officials. He
says, "They're behind us
now, they figure you running some big, big enterprises
right now.
That's what it is. You know, with the garbage,
and with an...
and with incinerators now, and ah... with
all that shit.
Incineration is a big thing with us, the thing
of the future.
They figure that you got it, that you control
it." Mr. Corallo
replies: "They're right, you know."

Miller Industries Reports Fiscal 2000 Third
Quarter Results
Wednesday, March 8, 7:54 am Eastern Time
CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee, March 8, 2000/ -- Miller
Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MLR
) today announced results for its fiscal 2000
third quarter and nine-month periods ended
January 31, 2000.
In the fiscal third quarter, net sales were
$146.2 million, a 10% increase over net sales of
$132.6 million in the fiscal 1999 third quarter.
Fiscal 2000 third quarter operating income rose
10% to $4.9 million from $4.4 million in the
year ago period. Net income for the third quarter
of fiscal 2000 was $766,000, or $0.02 per
diluted share, versus $931,000, or $0.02 per diluted
share in the third quarter of fiscal 1999.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2000, the
Company reported net sales of $429.2 million, an
increase of 12% over net sales of $384.4 million
in the first nine months of fiscal 1999. As
previously announced, the Company recognized
non-recurring charges in the fiscal 2000
second quarter of $6.0 million, to reflect
the rationalization of its RoadOne® operations.
Including these charges, the Company's operating
income for the fiscal 2000 nine-month
period totaled $10.8 million versus operating
income of $18.4 million in the same period last
year. Net income including the non-recurring
charges in fiscal 2000 nine-month results was
$1.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share,
compared with net income of $6.7 million, or $0.14 per
diluted share in the year ago period.
Excluding non-recurring charges, operating
income for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 was
$16.9 million, and net income was $4.5 million,
or $0.10 per diluted share.
The Company's fiscal third quarter results
reflect strong results within its towing and
recovery equipment segment offset by lower
than expected results from RoadOne.
Within the towing and recovery equipment segment,
revenues increased 10% to $93.7 million
from $85.1 million a year ago due primarily
to continued strong demand for the Company's
products, as well as the contribution of new
models introduced in the fourth quarter of fiscal
1999. Operating income in this segment improved
52% to $6.7 million in the current quarter
from $4.4 million last year as a result of
actions the Company has taken to improve
productivity and enhance efficiencies at its
manufacturing facilities. As a percentage of sales,
operating margins improved to 7.2% from 5.2%
in the same period last year.
At RoadOne, revenues increased 10% to $52.4
million from $47.5 million in the fiscal third
quarter of last year primarily due to the
contributions of acquisitions made subsequent to the
third quarter of fiscal 1999 and growth in
RoadOne's national accounts program. However,
RoadOne reported an operating loss of $1.9
million for the current quarter, compared with
operating income of $13,000 in the year ago
period. This loss was due to operating
inefficiencies associated with the RoadOne
rationalization as well as an increase in certain
operating costs, most significantly fuel expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
for the fiscal 2000 third quarter were $19.3
million, a slight increase from selling, general
and administrative expenses of $18.7 million a
year ago. As a percentage of sales, these
expenses decreased from 14% of sales in the third
quarter of fiscal 1999 to 13% in the current
year period.
Interest expense increased to $3.0 million
versus $2.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal
1999 due primarily to higher interest rates,
even though overall debt levels were $15.9 million
lower at January 31, 2000 than at January
31, 1999.
Commenting on these results, Jeffrey I. Badgley,
President and Chief Executive Officer of
Miller Industries, stated, ``In the towing
and recovery equipment segment, our fiscal third
quarter results continued the solid trends
we have seen throughout the year. Strong demand
for our products yielded substantial internal
growth rates, while the system enhancements
implemented at the end of fiscal 1999 led
to improved productivity and profitability of our
operations. I am very pleased with the equipment
segment's results, and commend both our
employees and our family of distributors for
their efforts. With a solid backlog of orders and
the successful resolution of the Department
of Justice investigation, as previously announced,
we look forward to continuing our strong performance
in the fourth quarter.''
James A. McKinney, Chief Executive Officer
of RoadOne, said, ``During the third quarter,
we continued with our rationalization of RoadOne's
operations and anticipate that it will be
substantially completed by the end of the
fourth quarter. We moved aggressively to
implement realignments in our under- performing
markets, replacing field-level management,
and reducing headcount and truck count late
in the third quarter. Unfortunately, the transition
in field management led to operating inefficiencies
that affected revenues and profitability in
certain markets. Results were also affected
by higher fuel costs, as well as higher personnel
costs.''
Mr. McKinney concluded, ``While the expenses
associated with the RoadOne rationalization
have had a larger than expected impact on
our third quarter results, we remain optimistic
about RoadOne's future. In part, our optimism
is based on the fact that the top third of our
markets continues to generate strong field
operating margins. These markets will serve as a
model for our other operations as we go forward.
We are putting a strong team of field-level
managers in place, and firmly believe that
we will successfully execute our operating
strategy.''
The Company also announced that it continues
to investigate the possibility of separating its
RoadOne towing services segment from its towing
and recovery equipment segment through
a tax-free spin off. The final decision to
proceed with any such transaction and its timing will
depend upon, among other things, improvements
in the operating results of the Company's
RoadOne subsidiary.
Miller Industries is the world's leading integrated
provider of vehicle towing and recovery
equipment and services. The Company markets
its towing services under the national brand
name RoadOne and its towing equipment under
a number of well-recognized brands.

Miller Industries, Inc. Reaches Resolution
of Department of Justice Investigation
Thursday, February 17, 9:30 am Eastern Time
CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee, February 17, 2000/
-- Miller Industries, Inc. (NYSE:
MLR ) today announced that it has reached
an agreement with the Antitrust Division of the
Department of Justice (the ``Division'') in
the previously announced investigation of
competition in the tow truck industry undertaken
by the Division's Civil Task Force. As a
result of this agreement, the Company has
entered into a Stipulation and proposed consent
Judgment with the Department of Justice, which
are expected to be filed with the Court today
simultaneously with the Antitrust Division's
complaint. The complaint focuses on the
Company's acquisition of Vulcan in 1996 and
Chevron in 1997, including the acquisition of
their patents.
Mr. William G. Miller, Chairman of the Company's
Board of Directors commented: ``We
remain convinced that the Company's acquisitions
were entirely lawful and believe that our
position would be vindicated in a court of
law. However, we believe it is in the best interest of
our shareholders to conclude this matter now
rather than extending for an additional lengthy
period what has already been a very costly
and time consuming exercise. To facilitate this
conclusion, we have agreed with the government
to license certain of our patents to our
industry.''
Under the terms of the proposed consent Judgment,
the Company will offer non-exclusive
royalty-bearing licenses to certain of the
Company's key patents to all tow truck and car
carrier manufacturers. In connection with
offering licenses, the Company will notify the
government periodically of companies that
have obtained a license. The Company will also
have reporting requirements related to future
acquisitions of tow truck and car carrier
manufacturers. The proposed Judgment will
be placed on the public record for comment for
60 days and then is subject to Court approval.
It is expected that such approval and entry of
the Judgment as proposed will occur within
the next several months.
Miller Industries, Inc. is the world's leading
integrated provider of vehicle towing and
recovery equipment and services. The Company
markets its towing services under the
national brand name RoadOne® and its towing
equipment under a number of well-recognized
brands.

Miller Industries Announces Summary Judgment
Dismissing Shareholder Class Action Lawsuit
Thursday, November 30, 8:15 am Eastern Time
CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee, November 30, 2000/
-- Miller Industries, Inc. (NYSE:
MLR ) was notified that the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Georgia had
entered summary judgment on November 20, 2000
in favor of the Defendants, dismissing the securities
class action lawsuit, relating to events between
November, 1996 and September, 1997, which has
been described in its prior public filings.
On November 21, 2000, the Company also was notified that the Tennessee
Supreme Court had
denied Plaintiffs' Writ of Certiorari regarding
the affirmance by the Tennessee Court of Appeals of the
dismissal of the securities class action complaint
in the Hamilton County, Tennessee Chancery Court.
That ruling terminated the shareholder suit
brought at the State Court level in Tennessee.
These favorable rulings dismiss all pending shareholder litigation against
the Company.
In granting Defendants' motion for summary judgment, the Federal District
Court in Atlanta found
that Plaintiff's allegations were without
a sufficient basis to present a legitimate issue for trial. The
Court's most recent order held that Plaintiffs
had failed to present any evidence relating to 5 of the 7
alleged accounting violations which had survived
Defendants' initial motion to dismiss in the Court's July,
1998 order. As to the remaining 2 alleged
accounting violations, the Court found that the Company
made no actionable statements or omissions.
Regarding the recent developments, Miller Industries, Inc. Chairman William
G. Miller stated,
``I'm pleased that finally after more than
three years the Judges in both the federal and state courts by
their rulings have vindicated the senior management
of Miller Industries. This is a management team that
has maintained the highest level of integrity
and dedication while serving this company and its
shareholders since it became a public company
in 1994 and I'm happy to see the record has finally
been set straight.''
Mr. Jeffrey I. Badgley, President and CEO, added, ``I'm glad the Company
never gave in to the
plaintiffs' lawyers in their spurious shareholder
lawsuits. We deserved to be vindicated and we have
been. We are pleased that these lawsuits will
no longer be a distraction from our full attention and focus
on the success of the Company.''
Oscar N. Persons of Alston & Bird LLP, the Company's defense counsel
stated, ``My partner
Rebecca Lamberth and I are gratified that
the judicial process has confirmed the fact that Miller
Industries, Inc. and its senior management
acted properly in all respects.''
Miller Industries is the world's leading integrated provider of vehicle
towing and recovery

Miller Industries Announces Dismissal Of State
Securities Litigations
Wednesday March 17, 3:24 pm Eastern Time
CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee, March 17, 1999 / --
Miller Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MLR
) today announced that the securities lawsuit
brought against the Company and certain of its directors
and officers in Tennessee State Court has
been dismissed with prejudice.
The suit, filed in October 1997, was pending
before the Chancery Court of Hamilton County,
Tennessee. In general, the individual plaintiffs
in the suit alleged that they were induced to purchase the
Company's common stock on the basis of allegedly
actionable misrepresentations or omissions about
the Company and its business, asserting claims
under Sections 48-2-121 and 48-2-122 of the
Tennessee Securities Act of 1980. The Company
previously filed a motion to dismiss the Tennessee
case, which was granted in its entirety in
May 1998. The plaintiffs in that case, with permission from the
Court, amended and refiled their complaint,
which was dismissed by the Court with prejudice on
March 11, 1999. In its dismissal order, the
Court assessed costs against the plaintiffs. It is not yet
known whether the plaintiffs will appeal the
Court's order.
The Tennessee Chancery Court's dismissal does
not effect the consolidated case filed by certain
persons in 1997 in the United States District
