Preston Trucking Real Estate Goes on the Auction Block
Bankrupt Preston Trucking Co. is scheduled to sell off its real estate at a public auction in Baltimore on Dec. 17, either to a company that has made a bulk bid for all the parcels or to individual bidders.
The sale of Preston’s real estate comes as the company deals with fallout from its closing earlier this year, including lawsuits filed by union and nonunion workers and sales of other assets.
