Denver, Colorado-based HVH Transportation has reportedly shut down, leaving more than 300 truck drivers out of work.

The first public report appeared early Tuesday evening on the CDLLife app (a social community and free navigation app for truck drivers), where an HVH driver stated that he was notified of the immediate shutdown by a company dispatcher.

Why is everyone closing up shop?

Why is everyone closing up shop?

Because of the driver shortage.

well shutting down the fuel card and leaving people far away from home, sucks...park the trucks, and walk away, call UBER, LYFT, or the nearest Graydog or airlines...

Drive the truck as far as you can get toward home on the fuel in the tanks. Start selling off any company assets in the truck or trailer.

I suspect the creditors would take a dim view of the fire sale...

Being as these driver will probably never see their last pay check owed to them, why would they worry about creditors?

If they can show you sold an asset, that's theft. Bankruptcy judges won't look kindly on that... of course, they gotta catch ya.

Nice story if you can sell it.

Well unless they had a private dic taking pics. Be kinda hard to prove otherwise.

When Arrow trucking went tits up the drivers were selling everything they could. I have not heard of any proceedings against any of the drivers.
I m not saying proceeding never happened, Just saying I never heard about any.

I'd leave it in a towaway zone nearest to my house as fuel will allow with the keys in the ignition.

IDGAF what happens to it after that.

Probably wouldnt... it'd be local stuff.

Yep, I doubt anything happened to the Arrow drivers a few years ago.

It would probably at least make trucking news. They'd wanna play up the angle of injustice and all that. Mainstream wouldn't GAF as usual.

Thing is, nobody is left at a defunct carrier to even see if stuff was taken let alone report it and expect cops to investigate. They'd have to go check all these scattered trucks all over the place. A recovery driver/tow operator isn't gonna give a damn unless he's supposed to drive it and tires are missing.

Bankruptcy courts don't care either. They're dealing with the company itself not the drivers.

Go tell that to a bankruptcy court judge, and let us know how you make out.

I like how your only argument is a scenario that will never happen.

Bankruptcy court will have no interaction with a former driver. It's not criminal court.
