My guess is the Wall Street types just couldn't handle the red ink. This was a nice company though. Jevic was last owned by private equity investors.

That might have played into it too. One bad spill can break a company, I'm not saying that they had one, but it is possible. If you ever looked at any of their trailers closely you used to see four or five placard holders on them. Jevic was big into hazmat along the east coast last that I knew about them.

As far as driving the rest of us below minimum wage, what do you think we're doing to each other now??? At $4.50 a gallon and a truck that gets 5.5 mpg that's .82 cents a mile just for fuel. Idiots are offering me $1.25 thinking that's a good rate. In NYC that doesn't even cover the tolls. This has got to end and the sooner the better. There aren’t that many Mexican trucks to begin with.

When all is said and done I expect that freight prices will rise when most of the companies have gone under and there is less choice of who will haul it. OR, More Mexican companies will take up the slack and drive the rest of us to below minimum wage pay rates.
