The Memphis-based courier will discontinue its operation of a Coppell, Texas, supply chain and logistics site and dismiss the 856 people who work there in phases, according to a November 21 notice filed with the Texas Workforce Commission. The reductions are scheduled to be completed by late April, according to the notice.
