Eagles Delivery LLC in Roanoke, Texas, reported 115 job cuts per a WARN notice. Ruiz Foods announced 176 layoffs at its Dinuba, California plant, noting that some workers were already laid off and the remainder are slated for removal.
“the loss of the Amazon contract resulted in the closure,” Gabriel Hilario, President, 4XH Logistics LLC said.
“the reductions were necessary to align production capacity with anticipated customer demand,” Kimberli Carroll, President and CEO, Ruiz Foods said.
4XH Logistics lost its Amazon contract, leading to the shutdown of its San Antonio‑area operation. Earlier this year, Kenco Logistic Services announced it would eliminate 86 jobs at a Charlotte, North Carolina warehouse after losing a customer contract.
