Uber Freight cuts 80 jobs while hiring nearly 300 in growth push

Uber Freight is eliminating approximately 80 positions across several departments as part of an organizational restructuring, even as the logistics technology company continues hiring and expanding its managed transportation business.

The workforce reductions, announced internally Tuesday, represent approximately 1.6% to 1.7% of Uber Freight’s workforce and are aimed at simplifying operations, eliminating overlapping responsibilities and improving organizational efficiency.

In an internal memo obtained by FreightWaves, Uber Freight CEO Rebecca Tinucci said the changes are intended to position the company for future growth.

“Several groups have reviewed their structures to simplify how we operate and strengthen execution,” Tinucci wrote. “As a result, we are eliminating roughly 80 roles across the business today.”
