Following major Celadon bankruptcy, FreightWaves launches job board for displaced freight talent

Following the high impact of the Celadon's bankruptcy and closing, FreightWaves launched its own free job board to help the countless fleets begin finding truckers employment and vice-versa. Now, that board has already jumped up the ranks in popularity.

The job and career board connects recruiters, companies and applicants in finding logistics talent nationwide.

Most recently, FreightWaves announced that in its first 24 hours, the board had close to 500 job postings from 225 employers. Approximately 50 people have applied for jobs so far — a number expected to grow in the coming days.

The holiday season can be stressful for individuals facing a sudden job loss, as well as for their families. That is why FreightWaves is lending a hand to those who make the trucking industry great.

“The tragedy of Celadon is impacting so many people across the industry,” FreightWaves CEO Craig Fuller said. “FreightWaves is a part of driving transparency and connectedness in the freight community, and we wanted to expand that to connecting great talent with prospective employers.”
