Despite having a great year in 2018, the trucking industry has been struggling this year, leading at least eight trucking companies -- many of them smaller companies -- to fold in the last eight months. Those closures have left approximately 2,659 drivers out of jobs, according to a report from Business Insider, which used data from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Most recently, Carney Trucking Co. closed on July 31, according to Freight Waves. According to Business Insider, the company employed 25 drivers.
