据行业新闻报道，过去一个月内，已有超过十几家美国卡车运输公司申请破产。
More than a dozen American trucking companies have filed for bankruptcy in the past month, according to an industry news report.
《货运波》（FreightWaves）本月早些时候报道，共有16家公司申请了第七章或第十一章破产程序，涉及超过250个就业岗位。
Some 16 firms, accounting for more than 250 jobs, have filed for Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 proceedings, FreightWaves reported earlier this month.
受唐纳德·特朗普总统与伊朗冲突的影响，柴油价格于9月22日创下每加仑6.53美元的历史平均纪录。美国汽车协会（AAA）数据显示，过去一年间柴油价格上涨了2.76美元。
Diesel prices, the lifeblood of the trucking industry, hit a record average of $6.53 a gallon on September 22 amid the impact of President Donald Trump’s war with Iran. Diesel has increased $2.76 over the past year, according to motor club AAA.
名单中规模最大的两家公司——Xoco Transport和Globemaster——正进入第十一章破产程序，这意味着它们将继续营业，但需与破产法院及债权人合作，制定债务偿还计划。
Two of the biggest companies listed, Xoco Transport and Globemaster, are entering Chapter 11 proceedings, meaning they will remain open for business but work with bankruptcy court and creditors to make a payment plan for their debts.
根据联邦法院文件，Xoco和Globemaster未具体说明导致其申请破产的原因。《独立报》已联系这两家公司寻求置评。
Xoco and Globemaster did not specify what led to their bankruptcy filings, according to federal court documents. The Independent has contacted the companies for comment.
物流公司ASM集团在其2025年12月发布的行业分析中指出，柴油价格的影响会波及业务的各个环节。
The impact of diesel prices trickles down to other parts of the business, logistics firm ASM Group said in a December 2025 analysis of the industry.
该集团写道：“当燃料成本上升时，卡车运输公司面临运营成本的突然增加，被迫提高货运费率以避免亏损。”
“When fuel costs go up, the trucking companies face a sudden increase in their operational cost and are forced to increase freight rates to avoid going in loss,” the group wrote.
提高运费也并非万能药。ASM集团指出，公司通常不得不裁员并出售设备以维持生存。这降低了其运输能力，从而减少了其收入机会。
Increasing their shipping rates isn’t a cure-all, either. Companies typically have to lay off workers and sell equipment to stay afloat, ASM Group wrote. That lowers their shipping capacity, reducing their revenue opportunities.
但据咨询公司德勤（Deloitte）7月份的分析，柴油价格只是卡车运输公司必须应对的财务压力之一。
But diesel prices are just one of the financial pressures that trucking companies have to battle, according to a July analysis by consultancy Deloitte.
德勤指出：“劳动力成本、保险费用、维护费用以及合规成本持续上升。”
“Labor, insurance, maintenance, and regulatory compliance costs continue to escalate,” Deloitte wrote.
报告称，货运行业通常存在业务繁忙期和业务低迷期。在业务低迷的月份，公司的收入可能不足以覆盖这些成本的增加。
In general, hauling freight has busy and slow seasons. During those slower months, companies may not generate enough revenue to cover those cost increases, the report said.
在 FreightWaves 报告中列出的 16 家货运公司中，有 8 家公司已经申请了第 11 章破产程序（即“重组型破产”），另有 7 家公司正在清算所有资产，并通过第 7 章破产程序结束运营。
Of the 16 trucking companies listed in FreightWaves’ reporting, eight companies are filing Chapter 11 and seven are liquidating all their assets and closing through Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
