A trucking couple, identified as Brittany Alexandria Puskarich and Brendan Richard, are under investigation after an altercation with an immigrant trucker was caught on camera.
The altercation occurred when the victim, who was attempting to park behind the couples truck, found himself reversing to avoid a collision.
Richard and Puskarich allegedly exited their vehicle and began yelling and mocking the man, targeting his immigrant status.
The confrontation continued as the victim entered a store, with Puskarich eventually spitting on him during the verbal attack.
Brittany Puskarich, who works as a mover for Palmer Moving Services, an agent of Atlas Van Lines, has since faced widespread criticism for her actions.
Atlas Van Lines issued a statement on October 21, condemning the behavior:
“We are aware of an incident potentially involving one of our Atlas Professional Van Operators. Atlas and its Agents have a commitment to the safety of our customers and community. Integrity is what we promise to our customers, and we have a zero-tolerance policy for this type of activity. We are taking this matter very seriously and actively working to address the situation through a thorough investigation.”
Palmer Moving Services echoed this sentiment, stating:
“Palmer Moving Services is aware of an incident involving one of our Professional Van Operators. Palmer Moving is commited to the safety of our customers and community. Integrity is what we promise to our customers, and we have a zero-tolerance policy for this type of activity.

Both companies have launched investigations into the incident.
