    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.

    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 tbh

    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.

    That explains why I saw a bunch of Cox trucks at the Freightliner dealer in Morton IL the other day.

    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. :cool:
