Tony’s Express

Less-than-truckload carrier Tony’s Express of Fontana, California, has filed for bankruptcy protection, nearly three months after it terminated 200 truck drivers, dock and warehouse workers, and office personnel via text message.

Former Tony’s Express employees and truck drivers say financial mismanagement by new owner John Ohle led to the trucking company’s collapse.

A California-based less-than-truckload carrier has ceased operations, leaving over 200 truck drivers, warehouse workers and office personnel without jobs or paychecks.
