Family-owned Fairfield Trucking Inc. of Hamburg, Arkansas, headed by James Andrew Barnes, submitted a bankruptcy petition in mid-April.

The company lists assets ranging from $0 to $50,000 and liabilities as being between $500,000 and $1 million, according to its filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Arkansas. The carrier, which hauled building materials, general freight and paper products, lists up to 199 creditors.

Fairfield Trucking was started by Jerry R. Barnes in 1981 and grew from one owner-operator to over 30 and had over 200 drivers at one time.

Another small carrier, Ease N On Trucking LLC of Pleasanton, Texas, also filed for Chapter 7 protection in mid-April. According to FMCSA, Ease N On had 28 power units and 31 drivers. The company’s operating authority was revoked on November 14, 2019, after its insurance was canceled six days earlier.

 
I've had my authority revoked due to agency screwups and they won't correct the record for that.
