Jack Cooper Transport closing up shop after nearly a century in business

Is this the same company that purchased LTL carrier ‘Standard Forwarding’ just a couple months ago?

 

I too don’t know anything about car hauling. Looks like another mismanaged union company to me. A lot like yellow, drivers did okay, most of the equipment was absolutely junk, at least appearance wise.

as for rates, in another thread someone said the trucks hauling corvettes were grossing 7 figures to the truck per year. Sounds pretty good to me. If that’s true.

 

Unless someone comes in a buys a lot of the Cooper equipment, there could be a shortage of vehicles delivered to the dealers. There aren't enough current O/O's to take up the slack.

 

Just give the Applications written in cursive

 

Only problem with that idea is that since the 80’s all destination charges on sticker prices are flat rate. Charges are the same no matter where it’s sold.
