Australian trucking company XL Express collapses, angering customers

XL Express, a trucking company operating for 35 years, has entered voluntary administration, leaving customers with undelivered goods and hundreds of employees facing job losses. The company, which provided freight services along Australia's east coast, is undergoing an urgent assessment by administrators to determine its viability. Customers are being arranged to collect their goods from distribution centers. The collapse follows the recent demise of another trucking firm, Don Watson Transport, and comes amid rising fuel costs, labor shortages, and increased regulations impacting the industry.
