Rooney Trucking Inc., a family-owned company based in Polo, MO, filed its petition in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Missouri. Attorney Ryan Blay told FreightWaves that \u201cfuel and labor expenses were certainly issues that affected Rooney Trucking Inc.\u201d \u201cThe bigger issue, though, was the decision by the U.S. Postal Service to take away some routes and cancel certain contracts,\u201d Blay said. \u201cThe business couldn\u2019t function profitably with a restricted income stream. This was the biggest factor in deciding to declare bankruptcy for the company.\u201d In its filing, the trucking company states that it will be unable to fulfill its 14-month contract to haul U.S. mail within a 150-mile radius of Kansas City, Missouri, \u201cdue to expected loss of staff as a result of bankruptcy filing and prior cuts to service from USPS.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Considering bankruptcy?
