Star Transportation PA Inc. and its five affiliates recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the Southern District of Florida. With over 400 drivers and a fleet of 233 power units, the Miami-based company cited rising fuel costs, skyrocketing maintenance expenses, and increased insurance claims as major reasons for their financial struggles.

The company is now seeking to reorganize under court supervision. Additionally, Star Transportation is facing a federal lawsuit from former workers alleging misclassification as independent contractors. What do you think about the ongoing challenges in the trucking industry, and how will this bankruptcy impact the drivers and the market?

 
Sounds like good riddance on this one.
Why?

I ask because I tend to think that this is pretty close to the normal for a huge amount of trucking companies out there right now.

Granted, they should have pulled the plug sooner, but I guess they were like so many others who were sticking it out til the end in hopes that things would begin to turn around.
