Mutha Trucker, a YouTube news source covering the trucking industry has reported that Montgomery Transport LLC, a Birmingham, Alabama-based trucking company, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and ceased operations effective immediately. 1000 employees out of work as trucker files for bankruptcy

The sudden shutdown has left hundreds of drivers stranded across America as the company’s leadership instructed them to halt operations. This abrupt closure represents a significant disruption in the trucking industry and has created immediate challenges for both drivers and clients dependent on Montgomery’s freight services.

Details of the Bankruptcy Filing The company officially announced its Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing, which indicates a complete liquidation rather than a reorganization. Unlike Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which allows companies to restructure while continuing operations, Chapter 7 signals the complete cessation of business activities. The announcement came suddenly, with employees receiving notification with almost no advance warning, forcing an immediate operational halt across the company’s network.

Impact on Employees The bankruptcy has resulted in approximately 1,000 employees losing their jobs, including 600 truck drivers who were actively working on deliveries across the country when the announcement was made. The company has instructed drivers who are close to home to return and await further instructions. Those currently completing deliveries have been told to finish their current loads but not to accept any new assignments. The widespread impact has created an immediate employment crisis for hundreds of families dependent on the company for their livelihoods.

Makes me wonder how many “NO NAME GIVEN” drivers they had, and if they saw the caca impacting the air mover as a result, and blew up the sale to hide that fact.
