Glen Clarke carried a heavy load on his shoulders Friday, as he hitched up his semi for one of the last times. The truck driver is one of 40 employees of Kingsley Trucking suddenly laid off on Thursday, when their employer was placed into receivership and all of its assets seized. …The Coombs-based trucking business lost its months-long fight in BC Supreme Court on Thursday. The Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) successfully argued its case to recall its loan to Kingsley Trucking and put it in receivership because it shares some of the same owners as the San Group, which owes close to $200 million to creditors. …Laid-off employees include truckers, mechanics, and office workers. In addition, the truck loads of goods distributed between the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island were suddenly left stranded, when the decision came down.
