“It was a shock. I mean, there’s really no other way to put,” Mike Davis, a driver with the company for 40 years was quoted by Oklahoma’s News 4 as saying.
“It’s like any other job, especially when you’ve invested that much time into it and there’s no real warning signs other than just peaks and valleys in business,” he added.
