Add Truckstop.com to the list of logistics companies that have laid off employees.
The precise size of the cutbacks at the load board provider is unknown, and the company has not disclosed it.
In response to a FreightWaves inquiry on Thursday, a Truckstop.com spokeswoman issued the following statement:
“As a premier and trusted SaaS [software-as-service] provider to the freight transportation community, Truckstop is constantly working to find new ways to serve its customers better while keeping them at the forefront of everything we do. We are a growing business. Continuous improvement, evolution, and change are required for growth. We restructured our organization this week to operate more efficiently and provide more value to our customers. We will continue to build on our momentum by investing in areas of the business that have the potential for even greater success and profitability.”
Searching the Truckstop.com website’s careers section yields only four open positions. DAT, a fierce load-board competitor, listed 22 open job positions. Thursday, March 2nd, in the afternoon.
Truckstop.com’s size is still being determined, but it was reported to have more than 400 employees in November 2020.
Convoy, Amerijet, Arrival, Amazon (18,000 total, with the drone unit experiencing “significant” job cuts), Ryder, and Flexport laid off employees in the first two months of the year.
