(Vancouver, Washington-AP) -- Oklahoma's 160 Consolidated Freightways employees will be getting one last paycheck.

The trucking company says it will issue paychecks to its 15,500 laid off workers for work performed before the company filed for bankruptcy protection.

Employees showed up at work Monday to find locked doors. A recorded phone message told them they no longer had jobs.

Consolidated's payout will total about $44-million.
