Exclusive: Central Freight Lines to shut down after 96 years

A source familiar with the 96-year-old company said he is unsure whether CFL will file Chapter 7 or “liquidate outside of bankruptcy,” but that the LTL carrier has no plans to reorganize.

I'm surprised that they didn't apply for a loan like yeller did from the government. It seemed they were giving them out to everyone.

Good luck to those affected.... there's plenty of good jobs out here.... but sucks starting over.

I know first hand.

The holding company Roadway Services ( not Roadway Express ) is just one of the few companies that once owned Central Freight lines.
