Central Freight Lines Prepares to Shut Down Operations After 96 Years
The longstanding US less-than-truckload carrier is moving toward liquidation, ending nearly a century of freight transport services without plans to reorganize.
Longstanding motor carrier Central Freight Lines is preparing to terminate its freight operations, bringing an end to 96 years in the inland transport sector. The business is closing down rather than attempting to restructure its ongoing commercial activities.
Market reports indicate that the less-than-truckload operator will not seek a corporate reorganization. The company is instead moving straight toward a wind-down of its existing freight network.
While the decision to end operations has been established, the specific legal mechanism for the closure has not yet been finalized. Options under review include a formal Chapter 7 bankruptcy submission or executing a complete liquidation outside of the bankruptcy court system.
The shutdown removes an established capacity provider from the domestic transport market, concluding nearly a century of road haulage operations across its service territory.
