Mid-City Precision wanted to expand its manufacturing capacity. So it ordered a 1999 Mazak CNC Horizontal Machining Center to allow it to produce more. It was the only such machine available used at the time.

Ordering such a thing was no easy task. The machine needed to be sent via four trucks after being disassembled.

Total cost: $85,000 for the machine, and roughly $86,000 to ship it.

The company hired Prime Union Logistics to handle the shipping.

But that’s when things went off the rails, the lawsuit alleges.
