Late Thursday evening, rumors of New Century Transportation’s possible closure began circulating social media. Many of you sent us messages about the rumored closure.
Trucking groups mobilized immediately and Facebook groups were set up to assist New Century drivers in finding new jobs.
CDLLife called New Century Transportation on Thursday evening, in an attempt to put the rumors to rest, and we were told the company was still moving freight and had work on the books for Monday. By Saturday, the rumors had died down a bit.
Today, the rumor’s were circulating again. This time, unconfirmed evidence of the company’s rumored closure was also being circulated. An email stating the company filed for bankruptcy on Friday was sent to CDLLife, and a driver who has NCT listed as his employer posted on New Century Transportation’s Facebook wall that he had received a letter of termination from the company.
A conversation posted on Trucker Lifeline initially conflicted with the rumors.

By 12:00 p.m. today, a driver emailed CDLLife what appears to be a termination letter from New Century Transportation. The letter is dated June 9, 2014.
