CLEVELAND, N.C. -- Hard times have hit the trucking industry.
Yesterday, Freightliner announced that it would layoff some 1,500 workers – approximately half of the plant’s staff – at its truck assembly plant in Cleveland, N.C.
The layoffs, which will begin June 6, will reduce plant operations to a single shift. Freightliner officials said the layoffs could be reduced should market demands for new trucks improve. (Courtesy of Tire Review)
