(Cedar Rapids, IA) — A trucking company based in Cedar Rapids has announced it will lay-off more than 300 employees across the U-S.
KCRG-TV reports CRST’s announcement comes after the freight-hauling company announced layoffs back in August. The company says it’s shifting about 100 trucks to other parts of its business. According to CRST’s website, approximately 200 trucks will be removed from their fleet of more than 4,300.
The company says the goal is to strengthen its ability to serve customers through solutions that drive the most value, reliability and long-term stability. CRST says the affected employees were given a 60-day notice on Wednesday.
The company says they are working with the affected employees to provide other driving opportunities within their fleets.
