FedEx Freight announces plan to close nearly 30 locations. FedEx Freight, the less-than-truckload (LXL) subsidiary of global freight transportation and logistics services provider FedEx, said last month that it will close 29 freight locations and consolidate its operations into other locations, effective August 13, 2023. In a statement provided to LM, the company said that these decisions are being made as FedEx continues to adapt to an evolving business environment. "We continuously review our network to ensure we have the right design to address changing market dynamics," the company said. "Through that process, we identified opportunities to consolidate operations in certain locations to improve customer service levels while lowering our cost to serve." FedEx Freight is enacting an additional furlough for certain job classes beginning May 28, 2023. It explained that eligible employees will be offered permanent transfer opportunities to other markets that have hiring needs. This news follows a November 2022 report that indicated FedEx Freight would begin furloughing employees in December in order to be in line with lower-than-expected levels of demand. |
