Item 8.01 Other Events
     On March 2, 2007 Allied Holdings, Inc. and its affiliated debtors (collectively, “Allied” or the “Company”), together with affiliates of The Yucaipa Companies, LLC and the Teamsters National Automotive Transportation Industry Negotiating Committee, filed a Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) and a related Disclosure Statement with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia (the “Court”). A copy of the Plan, the Disclosure Statement and the Company’s press release announcing the filing of the Plan are furnished with this Current Report.
     Bankruptcy law does not permit solicitation of acceptances of the Plan until the Court approves the applicable Disclosure Statement related to the Plan as providing adequate information of a kind, and in sufficient detail, as far as is reasonably practical in light of the nature and history of the debtor and the condition of the debtor’s books and records, that would enable a hypothetical reasonable investor typical of the holder of claims or interests of the relevant class to make an informed judgment about the Plan. Accordingly, this announcement is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, a solicitation for a vote on the Plan. Allied will emerge from Chapter 11 if and when the Plan receives the requisite stakeholder approval and is confirmed by the Court.
     The information furnished in this Form 8-K, including the exhibits, shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
