    Yes. Not filing, but winding down before they run out of capital and are forced to file. This story is going to play out many more times before this is over with.

    I ain't trying to step on toes or over reach, but I work for Altendorf Express in North Dakota. We could use a couple of OTR guys who want to keep trucking. It always hurts the industry when a company like this goes out of business, but if you know of any guys looking for a job, just have them call the office and ask for Morgan. (701) 248-3003

    Owned lock stock and barrel by Roadrunner. Who bought one of my favorite companies I EVER worked for, M. Bruenger.
    Sorry for the drivers, not sorry for the company. Hopefully the drivers will catch on elsewhere.
     
    Voodoo Pyg Thanks this.

    I'll not laugh at this even with what happened with my time there. A good friend of mine who'd gotten me the job, told me this was happening. He told me how many contracts they'd lost over the year. I did watch the video of the dispatch manager really laying into the drivers that he felt cost A&A the JBs contract. I'd hauled a few of those, so I know this hurt. Those drivers were screwing up and they ,waited too little and ###### sure too late to do anything about it.

    My thoughts? It's a sad day. I just watched Bayou_Swamp_Rat in TikTok and you could see the sadness in his eyes and hear the pain in his voice. He's since gone to Hurricane Express, but he isn't happy with them. I could never fathom that I was still there and got that email seeing that I was an independent contractor when I worked there. I've been through numerous companies, so I know how it feels to have to acclimate to a new job. My heart goes out to all of the drivers and staff of A&A Express.
