The End of the Line for the Preston Trucking Co. 1999
I
t's the end of the line for the Preston Trucking Co
., an 67-year-old Maryland freight carrier whose orange-and-white trucks have become a familiar sight along Interstate 95.
The regional trucking company
says it is shutting down because it does not have enough cash to pay its bills. More than 5,000 people will lose their jobs, though it wasn't immediately clear how many workers were employed at the company's headquarters in Preston, Md., on the Eastern Shore.
"It really is sad to see them fall away like this, because they're one of the venerable players in the industry," said Roger Dick, a spokesman for Yellow Corp., which sold the ailing trucking company last year to a group of Preston managers.
Preston, founded in 1932
, at first transported produce from farms on Maryland's Eastern Shore to cities across the Chesapeake Bay. Its logo includes the words "151 Line," named for the number of trucks in Preston's original fleet. The company grew to become the 22nd-largest trucking firm in 1997, according to Transport Topics.
