The trucking industry is starting to hit a wave of bankruptcy filings as firms are unable to pass along extremely high diesel prices to end clients. One freight news site suggests a “great purge” might be coming for smaller firms. JME has a lot of experience in this industry, if we can assist in any way.

C.A.R.E. Essay Writing Contest – Credit Abuse Resistance Education (C.A.R.E.) is a national, nonprofit financial literacy organization created by retired bankruptcy judge John C. Ninfo, II.
