At least 2,500 truck drivers have lost their jobs in 2019 as the transportation 'bloodbath' unfolds - here's the full list of bankrupt trucking companies

Effective June 26, Anderson, Indiana-based trucking company A.L.A. Trucking Inc. shut down after 31 years in operation. Along with 15 other employees, 41 truckers with A.L.A. lost their jobs.

Alabama-based Williams Trucking abruptly shut down on May 1, telling its employees to finish up deliveries, bring their trucks back to the headquarters, and go home.

On July 12, LME posted on its website that it was no longer accepting loads and was shutting down immediately. The company employed more than 400 truck drivers.

Based in New Brighton, Minnesota, LME was a less-than-truckload (LTL) trucking company in the US. LTL is a type of trucking where multiple shippers share a truck space to ship packages.

Last month, a federal judge ordered the owners of LME to pay out $1.25 million to its former employees. LME's owners ran a trucking company called Lakeville Motor Express that abruptly shuttered in 2016, leaving nearly 100 workers without back pay.

More than 550 truck drivers at Youngstown, Ohio-based Falcon Transport learned in late April that their employer was going under — effectively immediately.

CounterPoint Capital Partners, a Los Angeles-based investment firm, bought the 116-year-old company in 2017.

CounterPoint has not stated why it shut down Falcon. However, some speculate that the end of Youngstown's General Motors plant, which shuttered in March, contributed to Falcon's closure.

"It was like a bolt of lightning on a clear day and I wasn't expecting that," Falcon trucker Ed McCormick told WKBN, the local Youngstown CBS affiliate.

On Feb. 12, New England Motor Freight "stunned" the rest of the industry when it announced it was filing for bankruptcy and shutting down operations.

NEMF generated $402 million in revenue in 2017, ranking it as the 19th-largest less-than-truckload (LTL) trucking company in the US. LTL is a type of trucking where multiple shippers share a truck space to ship packages. It employed more than 1,300 truck drivers.

Thomas Connery, president and COO of NEMF, told Business Insider that high labor costs and other costs of business in the trucking industry were the leading reasons for the company's bankruptcy filing. "Excessive regulation, significant toll increases, and the high cost of insurance were also among contributing factors," Connery said.
