    They have a few plants in N.C. besides the one mentioned. They had ads up last week looking for warehouse and shuttle drivers.

    from the article:
    Rather pathetic company to do such as above yet promote a need for more employees, THEN turn around and SHUT IT ALL DOWN.

    Hopefully for all Current Drivers, they'll ALL get home (or very close to) before runnin' outta FUEL.

    The way I ŕead it, perhaps a different story, was they were telling the driver's just to bring it back to the house. Screw delivery, just bring it back to the house.
    Which tells me that buying gas isn't going to be a problem. Having a job will be.
     
    Flat Earth Trucker Thanks this.

    Something drastic must’ve happened for the company to suddenly shut down with little or no warning.
    Unable to get credit for loans(payroll,fuel,truck/trailer payments), a court judgment or court order, a bankruptcy filing-maybe all of the above at once!
    I’m sure more details will be released in the following days.
     
    Coover and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this.

    Sometimes it's one creditor unwilling to extend the terms. Or on insurer unwilling to reup. That's the lie CF used.
     
    Coover, buddyd157, gentleroger and 3 others Thank this.

    I wonder if any of their drivers decided to have their own furniture sale out the back of the trailer. I sure would have considered it.
     
    nikmirbre, Coover, mjd4277 and 4 others Thank this.

    Well it’s better for the office people to get a text at midnight than go in and end up banging on a locked door. Hope the drivers had fuel to get back.
