FedEx Freight fired Mike Lyons, its chief specialized services and commercial officer, after an internal investigation found conduct that violated the company’s Code of Conduct. Lyons, who led commercial strategy and customer experience and had 19 years with FedEx, will have his duties reassigned while the carrier searches for a replacement.
FedEx Freight will close 29 service centers in the US as part of an ongoing efficiency drive and will furlough an undetermined number of drivers for 90 days starting May 28 to adjust capacity with slowing demand. The affected operations will be consolidated into other locations, and the company is working with employees to find positions elsewhere in the system. All furloughed employees will be recalled on or before Aug. 25, and eligible employees will be offered permanent transfer opportunities to other markets that have hiring needs.
