Central Freight Lines unexpectedly shuts down operations after 96 years
Right before the holidays

2100 people now unemployed.

WACO, Texas (KWTX) - A Central Texas company that’s lasted for generations is unfortunately closing its doors.

After 96 years, Central Freight Lines will shut down its business.

Cassandra Alexander is a single mother of three that’s been a delivery driver for the company for the last four years. However, after scrolling through her phone yesterday afternoon, she found out that she and more than 2,000 other coworkers were without a job.

“It’s a big shock to all of us and mainly to me because we weren’t told anything,” she said.


“I found out through social media. I just didn’t know that it would be like this, without any warning right before Christmas. We’re literally less than two weeks from it and it’s just crazy.”

Central Freight Will officially cease picking up new shipments effective Monday and expects to deliver all freight remaining by December 20, citing too much debt and an inability to pay bills.

Our company deals with them. They currently have over 600 of our orders.

They told us they cannot guarantee delivery. Unreal.

"Central Freight Lines is winding down its business. As of Monday December 13, we will no longer be picking up freight.

We will continue to deliver the freight we have in our system. Thank you."

A source close to CFL told FreightWaves that CFL had “too much debt and too many unpaid bills” to continue operating, despite exploring all available options to keep its doors open.

“Years of operating losses and struggles for many years sapped our liquidity and we had no other place to go at this point,” Kalem told FreightWaves. “Nobody is going to make money on this closing, nobody.”

Re: Central Freight Lines unexpectedly shuts down operations after 96 years
Most of the big company's in fright shipping are walking a very thin line with dismal profit margins .
I predict that in six months time them and many of the smaller mom and pop operations will be upside down due to increased operational expenses and decreased rates .
It is a nightmare in the making .

All of the freight that can not be unloaded so it can reach the stores for the Christmas shopping season will become a serious financial burden for retailers because no one will want it after Christmas but most of it has already been paid for .

It's not looking good .

Good riddance. They were rough as hell with their freight and their customer service sucked.

I think we're about to revisit 2008 times a thousand.

After Christmas a lot of businesses will be closing for good.

There are no holidays, only days of toil in service of the revolution...

Unemployed are only weak, because they will not work for equality, diversity, and the revolution.
