Bisson Transportation in Auburn is closing, leaving more than 60 people jobless.
The freight operation already laid off several workers this week, and will let go the rest of its 61 employees over the next two weeks, according to the Sun Journal. President Bob Cooper said the company could not find enough owner-operator truck drivers to make its long-haul trucking operation profitable, and that it was unable to afford the incentives and bonuses larger companies offer to in-demand drivers. The company has about 38 drivers, but needed about 60, he told the paper.
Other company divisions -- Bisson Moving & Storage, Bisson Document Security and Bisson-I&R Commercial Services -- will remain open in Westbrook. The company will also continue to handle freight brokerage and yard services for Maine paper mills, and transport goods from mills to warehouses.
