Celadon wants to buy tractors and trailers, customer contracts and lists, office equipment and other items from Foothill Corporation, a secured lender to Daleville, IN-based BMC. However, Celadon must await bankruptcy court approval for the sale.

Should the purchase go forward, Indianapolis-based Celadon added that it plans to offer positions to certain administrative, maintenance and driving employees of BMC, related to the amount of business that Celadon ultimately acquires.

Celadon operates a fleet of more than 2,600 tractors and 7,000 trailers.
