    You gotta love rumor mills. Usually a company going bankrupt means they cant get the loads but i seem to stay pretty busy at 3000+ a week miles. Dont sound like a company foing bankrupt to mw.

    One must not forget, Things happen.
    Only need to look back at Arrow to see how quickly things can change.

    Is WE in trouble? Don't know for a fact that they are or are not having any financial trouble.

    A few facts that I can verify are they have lost a few big accounts.

    Western Express owed Knight about $40 million back in 2009. Wayne Wise declared bankruptcy like 3 times when he was around.
