KNOXVILLE, Tennessee -- Two trucking companies accuse Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam of directing a fuel rebate fraud for his family's truck stop chain, Pilot Flying J, according to documents filed in a federal court on Friday.

The companies, Keystone Freight Corp. and National Retail Transportation, said the chain taught employees to defraud the trucking companies in a conspiracy directed by Haslam.

The documents, in what is called a bill of particulars, said Haslam never intended for Pilot to honor its fuel rebate agreement with the trucking companies, and "each month, Pilot's employees under Haslam's direction and control manually adjusted and reduced the rebates that were due."

A bill of particulars gives the detailed basis of claims made previously in a lawsuit against Pilot by the two trucking companies. Both companies opted out of a settlementPilot made with a number of trucking firms. Those firms contended Pilot cheated them of rebate money.
