The 10 Roads group of companies — one of the largest U.S. mail haulers — announced Monday it will wind down all operations over the next 60 days and cease service to the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) by Jan. 30, citing steep revenue losses tied to major USPS network changes. In a statement to FreightWaves, the company said it has faced “continued and significant headwinds” across the transportation sector, compounded by fundamental operational shifts at USPS over the past two years. Those changes include increased use of brokers and the insourcing of transportation work — a trend that 10 Roads said has resulted in a 70% loss of revenue with expectations of further declines, company officials said. The company, which has provided mail-haul transportation to USPS for more than 47 years, said it has formally notified USPS of its intent to discontinue service. “We remain very appreciative of our long-standing relationship with the USPS and are committed to supporting a smooth transition,” the spokesperson added.

Amazon is joining the list of major logistics providers that are hitting shippers with price hikes and elevated surcharges as fuel costs rise amid the war in Iran. UPS and FedEx’s fuel surcharge rates continue to climb, and the U.S. Postal Service plans to launch an 8% temporary price hike on package shipping services April 26. “We have absorbed these increased costs so far,” Amazon said in its announcement. “However, similar to other major carriers, when costs remain elevated, we implement temporary surcharges on our fulfillment fees to recover a portion of the actual cost increases we are experiencing.”
