10 Roads, FedEx and Bollinger Motors announce shutdowns. The trucking industry is reeling.

10 Roads announces shutdown and end of USPS operations

10 Roads, one of the largest mail haulers in the United States, announced Monday that over the next 60 days it will wind down its operations and cease providing services to the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) starting January 30. The decision is tied to major revenue losses stemming from significant changes to the USPS network.

The year 2025 was turbulent for 10 Roads Express, which had been involved in a labor dispute with the Teamsters that resulted in a February strike affecting several states. However, company officials stated that the conflict with the Teamsters was resolved in June and did not influence the shutdown decision. In the coming days, 10 Roads will share more information about the closure with stakeholders.

Employees were informed of the imminent closure through an internal memo stating that the company will continue normal operations until January 30. 10 Roads Express operated 2,462 trucks and employed 2,606 drivers.

10 Roads has provided postal transportation services to USPS for more than 47 years. Reports indicate that the company has formally notified USPS of its intent to discontinue service. The closure of 10 Roads is the largest since Yellow filed for bankruptcy in 2023 and could significantly impact postal transportation operations.

FedEx to close Coppell, Texas facility

FedEx’s facility in Coppell, Texas, will lay off 856 employees due to the closure of a logistics center in April, according to a document filed Wednesday with the Texas Workforce Commission.

The layoffs will occur in phases beginning in January, the company said. FedEx noted that employees were notified in advance and that some may be eligible for reassignment to other roles within the company.

These cuts add to recent workforce reductions in North Texas. In May, the company laid off 305 workers at a Fort Worth plant, followed by another 131 layoffs in June at facilities in Garland and Plano.

FedEx is not the only company affected: throughout the year, logistics and manufacturing firms across the United States have faced waves of job cuts driven by the current administration’s trade policies and the government shutdown.

Bollinger Motors ceases operations

Bollinger Motors, the Michigan-based electric truck manufacturer, has shut down after months of financial difficulties that came to a head when the company was unable to meet payroll for at least two pay periods. Internal emails obtained by the Detroit Free Press confirmed that the closure took effect on November 21, 2025. In a message to employees, the company’s head of human resources announced the shutdown and said that the CEO of its parent company, Bollinger Innovations, formerly Mullen Automotive, would attempt to cover the unpaid wages.

Payroll issues had already been acknowledged on October 31 by the company’s chief operating officer, leading employees to file about 70 complaints with Michigan labor authorities.

The shutdown marks the end of a particularly difficult year for Bollinger. The company had been placed under receivership in May due to a dispute with its founder, and although it exited receivership in June backed by Mullen (which owned 95% of the company) financial pressures continued to mount. Meanwhile, the EV sector faced broader consolidation, and the parent company rebranded as Bollinger Innovations before being delisted from the Nasdaq in October after sustained declines in share value and multiple reverse stock splits.
