It looks like it is one of the warehouse operations and not the LTL side. There is one of each in Hazelwood, but from a few stories I found it sounds like a warehousing type operation. Doesn't make it any better for the employees. Hope they land on their feet somewhere.

Merry Christmas....
 
Yup 3PL business unit. Sounds like the contract expired and they (Prestige) didn't renew. And XPO wasn't able to fill the void with another client. It's kind of odd that they weren't able to find another. Almost happened to me while working for Ruan. I got laid off from them but looking back, I wish it would have happened sooner. Everyone complains about XPO but at least they're not at the bottom of the barrel level that Ruan is. I think I got PTSD working there.
