In a stunning development shaking the U.S. trucking sector, 10 Roads Express has notified employees it will shut down all operations within the next 60 days, terminating every contract — including its extensive USPS mail-haul network.


The announcement shocked thousands of drivers, mechanics, dispatchers, and office staff across the country as the company begins a full shutdown of its national operations.

Years of tension leading to a breaking point


This closure follows months of escalating conflict. Earlier this year, more than 500 drivers went on strike in multiple states over alleged unfair labor practices and failed contract negotiations.


Labor tensions have simmered for years — unionization efforts, accusations of retaliation, and ongoing disputes about working conditions all contributed to a volatile internal environment. Now, the entire company is collapsing under that pressure.


Major disruption for USPS


For a carrier of this scale — one that hauls U.S. mail coast-to-coast — to go dark is significant.

The USPS must now scramble to reroute mail, secure replacement contractors, and reorganize its logistics structure to maintain nationwide service.


Meanwhile, thousands of transportation professionals suddenly face job loss and deep uncertainty about what comes next.


Support for all affected


The 10 Roads Express shutdown is a sobering reminder of how quickly the trucking industry can shift.

One day you’re hauling federal mail; the next day the company disappears.


All thoughts and prayers go out to the drivers and families impacted. Stay safe, stay informed, and look out for one another.
