    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.
