Trucking company to close Harrisonburg site, laying off 70

Iowa-based 10 Roads Express will shut down its Harrisonburg facility early next year, leaving 70 local workers without jobs as the trucking company winds down operations amid steep revenue losses tied to major shifts at the U.S. Postal Service.

According to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification notice filed with Virginia Works, the company will close its site at 888 Auto Motion Way by Feb. 28, 2026, with layoffs beginning as soon as Jan. 30. Positions at the Harrisonburg site included drivers, technicians, managers, supervisors and assistants.

A spokesperson confirmed the entire company is closing down nationwide, impacting about 2,000 employees. While the majority of layoffs will take place on Jan. 30, 2026, a handful will remain for a few months to assist as the company closes operations.

According to the company’s website, 10 Roads Express has 36 terminals nationwide and scheduled delivery points in 47 states.

The company announced this week it was winding down its operations “after continued and significant headwinds impacting the transportation industry.”

“Over the past 24 months, the USPS has made fundamental operational changes, including the more prevalent use of brokers and the insourcing of transportation work,” the company said on Monday. “ This has resulted in a 70% loss of revenue for 10 Roads so far, with all indications that this trend will continue. Despite extensive efforts to adapt, 10 Roads has been unable to reduce its platform enough to make continued operations sensible, leading to the difficult decision to cease operations.

The company was formed in 1977, although the group of companies that consolidated into 10 Roads Express traces its roots back to 1946.

A spokesperson said in a statement that the decision was “not made lightly” and that the company is grateful for its entire team’s years of commitment.

10 Roads has notified USPS that it will fully complete all contractual obligations during the transition period.

“We remain very appreciative of our long-standing relationship with the USPS and are committed to supporting a smooth transition,” the spokesperson said

USPS did not immediately return requests for comment.
