SEFL | What Happen To Billings Freight Systems Did They Go Out Do Anybody Know.

They were mainly textile haulers so you can kinda figure out why they went under. Hard to haul that stuff from every where but the USA.
 
Thanks For That Info. They Had Some Crappy Equipment In Alabama Old Cabovers.they Probally Sold For A Little Or Nothing.
 
They were trying to get into general freight toward the end but I'd only seen them picking up or del to the few textile companies around here. I know that a former vp with Service Transport had gone over to Billings after ST closed and was trying to get them business outside of textiles.

They probably went to Mexico to haul the textile goods Billings was hauling.

THANKS to NAFTA more Americans out of work.It's enough to make you :puke:!
 
Union Buster

Billings went out April 21st 2006
I worked at the Lexington N.C. Term.
They opened the next Day At Rural Hall N.C.
Under the name Arrow something ?
They picked out the trucks and trailers they wanted and sold the rest. They still have the same salesmen. The V.P. that was the Union Buster Now works at O.D. So O.D. look out for W.B. thanks Sadie825:chairshot:
