Wave of Layoffs in the Transportation Industry in California and Texas

The freight industry in two major US states – California and Texas – is witnessing a wave of widespread layoffs, affecting more than 1,000 workers in just the past week. Major players like UPS, FedEx, Amazon, and several others have announced downsizing plans to restructure and adapt to market fluctuations.

United Parcel Service (UPS) plans to cut two shifts at its West Sacramento warehouse, resulting in 355 job losses starting in mid-July.
According to The Sacramento Bee, UPS calls this part of “the largest network restructuring in the company’s history.” Previously, in April, the company announced plans to cut approximately 20,000 jobs and close 73 facilities across the United States before the end of 2024.

FedEx: 305 Jobs Affected in Texas

FedEx Supply Chain Logistics and Electronics announced it will lay off 305 employees at its logistics center in North Fort Worth, Texas.

The reason is believed to be that a major customer has switched to using the services of another third-party logistics (3PL) provider. The center will continue to operate with approximately 275 remaining employees, and the layoffs are expected to be completed by October 25th.

F&S Produce West: 255 Jobs at Risk of Loss
