Laid off from ID Logistics.

What ID Logistics layoffs have meant for employees

One of the two Gandy Boulevard buildings had a past before ID Logistics. The one at 2007 Gandy Blvd. N. was among the St. Petersburg distribution centers that St Pete Catalyst said Jagged Peak ran when ID Logistics agreed to buy that Tampa company's assets in 2019. In the October 2025 letter that announced the site's closing, nearly half the people counted, 81 of 174, were temps placed by a third-party employer, and the Ruskin move was offered to them as well as to ID Logistics' own staff. If you were a temp there, you were in the same count and the same offer, even though your employer was the third-party firm that placed you. The list of affected jobs ran from packagers and forklift operators to SAP and systems roles, so the decision wasn't confined to warehouse work. The site had no union, the letter said, and none of the employees scheduled for layoff had bumping rights, so the transfer was the only way it described to stay on. If you get a transfer offer like that, you can ask which shift you'd have at the new site and work out the commute.

At Taylor, the local account was that the jobs would outlast the notice. Staff were to get to pick the company they'd work for, per a November 2024 FOX56 report, and Bob Durkin, president of the Greater Chamber of Commerce, told the station the jobs would stay in the area, just reassembled. That's a different kind of decision from a closing. If you're handed a choice like that, it's worth comparing the pay, the shift, when benefits start and what happens to your seniority, because those can differ even when the building and the work don't.

Much of the US company these notices come from was Kane's to begin with. When ID Logistics bought all of Kane Logistics in April 2022, 20 of the 26 US sites it counted were Kane's, per its April 2022 release, which also said Kane's teams would run its US business. The Scranton company, FreightWaves reported, had been Kane is Able Inc. for most of its history. Kane Freight Lines grew out of the local hauling Edward Kane started, according to Transport Topics, and its name, like Kane is Able's, is on filings from before the sale. If you worked for Kane before 2022, you could try the Kane is Able and Kane Freight Lines names in our WARN tracker as well as ID Logistics.

The company's 2026 announcements ran the other way from these cuts. Nearly 2,000 US hires were planned for the year, the company said in a January announcement that Multimodal carried, with roles across the group primarily operational, such as order pickers and forklift operators. The takeovers of three Georgia and South Carolina operations it announced in May were takeover-in-place transitions, in the words of its PR Newswire release, and its US strategy chief said customers wanted partners who could support people through change. If your job at one ID Logistics building ended, that hiring plan makes its other sites worth a look, and the May release counted 56 of them in the US. The St. Petersburg letter, after all, offered to move people along with the work. If you worked at Avenel, our New Jersey layoffs page covers the state's own notice and severance rules.
