MOUNT VERNON (WMIX) – FedEx Freight has confirmed that it’s closing seven service centers across the U.S. this year as the division continues to make alignments to its freight network and that includes a local facility.
According to FedEx, the center in Mt. Vernon is one of the seven facilities to be closed later this year.
Those centers represent one percent of FedEx Freight’s overall door count, and some team members will be offered opportunities at nearby FedEx locations, the company said.
No specific dates were given for closures. It’s unclear how many workers will be affected.
One other Illinois center in Chicago Ridge is also on the closure list.
