Recent filings include Globemaster, Xoco Transport, Expedite Express and several Texas carriers

A new round of trucking bankruptcies has swept across the U.S. in recent weeks, with carriers ranging from small owner-operators to fleets operating dozens of trucks seeking Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 protection.

At least 16 trucking, delivery and transportation companies entered bankruptcy proceedings between late August and Sept. 21, according to federal court filings and carrier records reviewed by FreightWaves.

The filings come as trucking companies continue navigating a freight environment marked by rising diesel fuel prices and other elevated operating costs.
