I never worked for them, but they're somewhat nearby to me. They've been bought out by Nussbaum. Website is still up but operations cease this month I believe.

If bought out wouldn’t that mean they’re still there..? Drivers/employees can stay.

I'm sure plenty of their drivers are now Nussbaum drivers. Don't know about the office employees though. It was a much smaller company than Nussbaum. They were one of the only carriers I knew about that had paid maternity leave (8 weeks of it!), which as a female trucker is a very nice perk. Not sure if Nussbaum kept those good benefits for them; I doubt it though.
Trucker61016 and Lonesome Thank this. -
When would a female driver find the time to get pregnant if she's OTR? Can't beat an incentive like that with a stick though tbhBean Jr., bryan21384 and Arctic_fox Thank this.

That might explain the sudden influx of Cox trailers I see sitting over at T.R.S.
I don't remember any a couple weeks ago, now there's probably a dozen or so. Maybe they are there to get new lettering.Lonesome Thanks this. -
On weekends, haha.

That explains why I saw a bunch of Cox trucks at the Freightliner dealer in Morton IL the other day.
BrothaTrucka513 and Lonesome Thank this. -
Quick correction: Nussbaum Transportation did not purchase Cox Transfer. We did purchase 4 trucks on auction however.

2 months off is great. Do they pay you your full and average wage during that time?
What do you do with the baby once back on the road? -
C'mon Moose you know the answer to that, right next to the cute fluff ball with pink bows laying on her lap looking out the window.
Moosetek13 Thanks this.
