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…
The drivers of Montgomery Transport are being put out of service as their operating authority has been removed. This is going to send a bad message in the industry. The people responsible for this are going to need a plethora of attorneys due to the lawsuits that will be forthcoming.
They are also a brokerage and truckers are not getting paid for the loads they did for them complete mess!
I want to know why people don’t talk about the owners, CEO’s etc….. living extravagantly while paying employees low rates. They mismanage money to live extravagantly until it catches up to them. Why are they not held accountable? Why are they not incarcerated? This would stop if the people at the top of the decision making would have severe consequences for their selfish or ■■■■ decisions that cause so much harm to the lower income employees. Start investigating the upper payroll people after something like this happens. They talk about suffering so much, but continue living in big houses, going on extravagant vacations, driving expensive vehicles etc… They call suffering downsizing from 2million dollar homes to one million dollar homes. Start talking ALL the facts!!!
This is awful, I feel so bad for all of these families affected by this closure. I work with R.E. West Transportation, a family-owned company based in TN. We have consistent freight, and I’d love to help any displaced drivers get back on the road quickly — especially those with specialized/flatbed experience.
