N.J. Motor Truck Assn. Puts Up Link to Help Displaced Jevic Drivers

The New Jersey Motor Truck Association has put a large banner link on its Web site to help the approximately 1,000 truck drivers who were let go from Jevic Transportation this week find work.

Jevic closed its doors Monday, citing high fuel and other costs, and filed for bankruptcy following the closure.

Jevic, which had truckload and less-than-truckload operations, said in a court filing that it terminated about 90% of its 1,500 employees, Bloomberg reported earlier this week.
