Jevic is about to put 300 people out of work due to the high fuel costs. They are closing three terminal locations and getting rid of local and regional drivers.

They call it "downsizing", but the bottom line is high fuel costs have taken away their profits and now they are forced to offers worse customer service by not having these regional drivers, local drivers, and the office staff that will also be sent packing.

Don't be surprised to see this company completely folding up the tents in a few months
