    I heard a couple of guys today talking about Fikes Truck Line closing down. I was just wondering if anyone knows if there's any truth to this. I'm not trying to start any gossip. I just heard some guys talking about this today.

    That's interesting. I was just thinking to myself the other night I haven't heard them blasting my Sirius radio with commercials in a while.

    That's a shame. They've been in business a long time.

    I was told ever since Gary Salisbury took over he ran it straight into the ground. I don't know if it's true, just repeating what I was told.
