A 73-year-old trucking company is putting the brakes on its operations.
Consolidated Freightways says it's filing for Chapter Eleven bankruptcy protection today and laying off more than 15-thousand people around the country.
In letters being mailed to workers, Consolidated says it simply doesn't have enough money to continue operations.

The fear of flying since September 11th has drawn a record number of people traveling to Virginia by CAR.
Attractions easy to reach by Interstate 95, such as Virginia Beach and Historic Jamestown, have seen a steady stream of visitors since the first of the year.
Tourism officials at other historic sites such as Monticello have also been busy.
The one exception to the tourism increase is northern Virginia.
So far this year, the area's hotels and motels experienced a 1 to 3 percent decrease in occupancy rates from last year.
