Chapter 11 is a reorganization. Someone will get a good deal and Idleair will go on taking up spaces in truckstops where poor truckers are not allowed to park.Since the company has revenue of 39 million there is value there as long as the purchase price of the assets is comensurate.

There equipment is rickity and nastyy. they don't clean it from my experience. The few times I used it the smell of cigerette smoke just about choked me to death and I'm fairly ok with smoke smell so it must have been real bad. The thing plugs in the window so if you drive a truck that has a curtain between the cab and bunk instead of window curtains you are out of luck charlie. you either have to leave the curtain open and deal with the lights all night or not get enough air

IdleAire locations open and expected to remain open
5/16/08
Quote:

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — IdleAire locations are operating and serving customers and are expected to remain open and serving customers, the company said Friday.


Company officials also emphasized that IdleAire Technologies Corp. has filed for Chapter 11 reorganization, not for Chapter 7 liquidation, noting there was nothing in the company’s petition to the court indicating any plans for cessation of services.


IdleAire has secured a $25 million Debtor-in-Possession credit facility to provide funding for the company as it works through the Chapter 11 reorganization process, the company said. The Chapter 11 process will allow IdleAire the opportunity to restructure its debt and emerge under new ownership on a more financially solid foundation.

That's too close to being in the same city where Pilot is headquartered. If there's a dollar to be made with it, Knoxville's mayor/Pilot CEO may have a new toy.

Actually, under chapter 11, they are not forced to sell. They work a deal out under the payback to debtors. There is no guarantee the debtors will accept the deal and it could lead to chapter 13 or 7.

Restructure? Hell they're gonna bail them out.

California is set to lease the rest areas to them. This is only a manuever to get additional money for expansion...via the tax payer.

If I understood the petition right
Some of debtors have created a separate company, and they are the ones who are financing the transfer
K Mart did this a few years ago
The biggest problem is they pretty much create new stock and many owners that are not part of new company have there original stock dissolved. Its legal but sucks
