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)
