ALWAYS SAD TO SEE: Family-owned business calls it quits after 67 years
Alvan Motor Freight, a family owned business, is ceasing operations after nearly 70 years and filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
President and CEO James Van Zoeren says a number things including the economic difficulties in the Midwest, the strike at American Axle, overcapacity in the trucking industry and fuel prices lead to the company's demise.
Alvan was a good, reliable company.
