CRST IS CLOSING ITS DOORS

With almost 6000 trucks in it's fleet, I don't think moving 300 around means they're going out of business.

 

Freightwaves misreported it and posted it like the whole company closing down and the other media outlets ran with it like wildfire. I'd be very surprised if CRST doesn't sue them as I imagined it caused a crap ton of chaos and might have damaged customer relations. almost every one of the trucking pages I follow where talking about it.

 

I have seen this on Google news, and three threads on this site so far.

Everyone loves to be the one to drop a headline, you know, come in with the scoop.

 

I don't understand the thread title, they're merely downsizing.

 

My Apology to CRST: I Got It Wrong

 

Wow. At least he owned his mistake.

 

The articles I've read, I didn't interpret it that CRST was closing. It seemed pretty clear they downsizing/redistributing. Kudos to the author for clearing the air.
