FreightCaviar recently received intel from our LinkedIn followers about apparent employee reductions at MoLo Solutions, which is under ArcBest's umbrella. Though the source wishes to remain anonymous currently, they stated that this decision, part of a larger restructuring effort, was communicated during a company-wide meeting.
The source also reported that there are plans to merge account management and customer operations roles, alongside a shift from salaried to hourly pay for operational roles.
