Businesses in Maryland have been working to accommodate traffic and commerce changes in the year since the collapse of the crucial Francis Scott Key Bridge, including trucking companies. 

One of these trucking companies is Triple CCC Logistics, named after three of CEO William Cox’s children – Cassidy, Carson, and Connor. 

“We have Ariana, Cassidy, Carson and Connor. He really wanted to pass this down to the kids, so he named it after them,” said Tiarra Cox, a co-owner of the company.

The company was founded in 2021, and largely delivers shipping containers to and from Seagirt Marine Terminal at the Port of Baltimore. Triple CCC was doing so well that they added to their fleet in February 2024, but that momentum halted when the bridge collapsed just one month later. 

“It was so much growth. He was so excited. He was meeting new people in the trucking industry,” Tiarra Cox said.

“My driver called me, waking me up in the middle of the night because we had a delivery to deliver that morning,” William said to 11 News. “He’s like, ‘Turn on the news. The bridge collapsed. You might want to get up and figure out what we’re going to do from here.’”

William says they’ve been able to stay afloat, but it’s taken a lot of effort, and they’re getting close to the end of the road with expenses adding up as the company continues to operate at less than 100%. On top of the bridge collapse, the company lost even more clients during the port workers strike. 

“A lot of clients didn’t come back to Maryland. A lot of clients said it was more convenient to stay at certain ports,” William Cox said.”I’m at the end, but I’m not giving up. I built this from the ground up and I stand on it, no matter if we’re up today, down tomorrow. I plan for a lot of things, but I couldn’t plan for a bridge collapsing.”

60% of people who live within 3 miles of the bridge say its closing still affects their daily lives in 2025, reports WBAL TV.
