Falcon Transport was initiated in 1903.

It started with two horses in a buggy and now we're about a thousand trucks.

Trucking company at Workport Preview is treating me like a piece of equipment

coming over to Falcon Transport. They care about their employees.

You're not just a number. They do take very good care of you.

My future at Falcon looks like me being a hundred years old and still driving down the road

in a Falcon Transport truck.

Nicole Rupert was enjoying a nice relaxing night at home on Saturday, April 27th, 2019,

when she received an unexpected email from her employer, Falcon Transport.

The email read, quote,

We regret to inform you that Falcon Transport Company is not able to continue operations

and will be shutting down effective today.

Please stop any work you're doing for the company immediately.

You're not expected to return to work.

Please be on the lookout for further information. We will be sending regarding this situation.

Just like that, without warning, the 116-year-old youngstown Ohio-based trucking company

that employed more than 550 people was out of business.

And Nicole, who had been working as a dispatcher for Falcon for over four years,

found herself without a way to provide for her family, literally overnight.

My fiance worked there as well, so we're both out of work. My best friend worked there.

My future mother-in-law worked there, so we're all kind of just in the same boat.

The same boat floating up shit creek without a paddle.
