What Bankruptcy normally means to trucking is that the fuel card doesn't work anymore, no longer able to incure dept ! If I would ever haul for a company that was in bankruptcy (not gona happen) I would say "Ok, I'll take the load but need a comcheck for the full amount before I leave. Let them fight it out with comcheck but I would have my $$$$

I normally book quite q ways in advance for the things I haul but with the economy the way it is people are either not buying, or putting holds, on big things
 Finally found a 12 wide 140,000lbs excavator going down to the Port of Miami (Hate that place) that pays $28,000 plus permits so that will pay for the run home, but in "normal" times should pay way more.Then take off till 17th of next month when I load a real good paying load to Ga. from Ca. (Keep fingers crossed the Arabs don't run out of money by then) then off for the rest of the year

By the time you take out permits, escorts and fuel (Grossing 215,000 lbs I get just over 1 mpg) not that much left.
