Description

👍 Enjoyed this video? Please drop a like and subscribe for more. https://www.youtube.com/@RubenSalgadoTrucking-j5g?sub_confirmation=1 Some trucking companies didn't fade out slowly. Drivers found out with a declined fuel card at the pump, a stop-work text at 8 at night, or a locked gate at the terminal. In this video I count down 10 American trucking companies that shut down fast and left their drivers stranded, from LME and Falcon to Yellow, Celadon, and Arrow Trucking four days before Christmas. I also explain what protects you when your company goes under, why owner-operators fall through the cracks, and what to do if it happens to you in the middle of a run.
