Lawrence Trucking Firm Files Chapter 11

Revi Express Inc., a Lawrence, Massachusetts trucking company, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Worcester on May 26, according to court records and a weekly bankruptcy filing roundup published Monday. The case is pending in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts as case number 26-40615. The filing places the company in reorganization rather than liquidation, allowing it to continue operating while it works through its debts. Public court-monitoring records show the case was assigned to Chief Judge Elizabeth D. Katz. ### Which company filed, and where was the case filed? Revi Express Inc. was identified in the National Law Review's June 1 weekly bankruptcy alert as a Lawrence-based company in general freight trucking. The alert said the case was filed in Worcester, Massachusetts, on May 26. Court-monitoring services that track federal bankruptcy dockets listed the same debtor name, court and filing date. Those records show Revi Express filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition in the District of Massachusetts. ### What do the filing numbers show? The June 1 bankruptcy alert listed Revi Express with assets of $50,001 to $100,000 and liabilities of $100,001 to $500,000. The company was one of the Massachusetts and regional business filings included in the weekly report. Those ranges indicate the company reported more liabilities than assets at the time of filing. The alert did not list a more detailed breakdown of creditors, revenue, employee count or specific contracts. ### Was this a standard Chapter 11 case or a small-business filing? The docket entry for May 26 described the case as a Chapter 11 voluntary petition filed under Subchapter V for a non-individual debtor. Subchapter V is the section of the bankruptcy code used by qualifying small businesses seeking to reorganize. Pacermonitor's public docket summary said the filing included schedules, statements and a creditor matrix. It also said the filing fee was $1,738. ### Who is handling the case? Public docket records list Louis S. Robin of the Law Offices of Louis S. Robin as counsel for Revi Express Inc. The same records identify Chief Judge Elizabeth D. Katz as the assigned judge in the Worcester bankruptcy case. The public summaries available through court-monitoring services do not show any immediate ruling on operations, financing or creditor objections. No public statement from Revi Express or its attorney was readily available in the materials reviewed. ### What does the filing change right now? Chapter 11 allows a company to seek court protection from creditors while it proposes a plan to address its debts. In Revi Express's case, the available public docket information shows the company filed as a debtor that intends to reorganize under Subchapter V rather than shut down through Chapter 7. The National Law Review alert categorized Revi Express as a general freight trucking company. The filing itself, as publicly summarized, does not spell out whether routes, staffing levels or customer contracts have changed since the petition date. ### What happens next in the case? The May 26 docket entry set an August 24, 2026 deadline for Revi Express to file its Chapter 11 small-business Subchapter V plan. That filing is expected to outline how the Lawrence trucking company proposes to treat creditors and continue through the bankruptcy process. Further developments will appear on the docket in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts, Worcester division, under case number 26-40615. Named participants in the next steps include Revi Express Inc., its attorney Louis S. Robin and Chief Judge Elizabeth D. Katz.
