More than 160 logistics workers across North Texas will lose their jobs this fall as delivery contractor Dylan Logistics prepares to permanently halt operations at two major distribution facilities in Lewisville and Fort Worth.

The company disclosed the upcoming closures through dual Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) notices submitted to the Texas Workforce Commission. The filings detail a complete cessation of business activities, resulting in 97 layoffs at 1303 Ridgeview Drive in Lewisville and an additional 70 cuts at 15501 North Beach Street in Fort Worth. The job eliminations take effect this October and primarily impact delivery drivers, along with two staff members listed under the title of “Owner.”

Contract Delivery Model in the Spotlight

Both physical sites targeted in the filings operate as Amazon fulfillment centers. While Amazon maintains massive distribution hubs nationwide, the retail giant relies heavily on an expansive web of independent Delivery Service Partners (DSPs) and third-party motor carriers to handle the last-mile transit of consumer goods. When independent contractor agreements end or operating costs fluctuate, contracted delivery providers often face abrupt operational shutdowns.

Federal records maintained by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) show that Dylan Logistics is registered to a residential property in Highland Village, Texas, operating with authorized for-hire motor carrier authority. Regulatory data indicates the carrier managed a fleet of roughly 150 drivers within a 100-mile operational radius across North Texas, accumulating over one million service miles throughout 2025.

Local Economic and Workforce Impact

Under the federal WARN Act, employers with 100 or more full-time workers must provide at least 60 calendar days of advance notice before executing plant closures or mass layoffs. These filings give state workforce development boards and local job centers lead time to coordinate transitional assistance, unemployment claims, and re-employment services for affected staff.

The sudden closure of Dylan Logistics highlights ongoing volatility within regional third-party supply chain networks across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, one of the nation’s fastest-growing e-commerce and logistics corridors.

The company owner, designated as the primary point of contact on the official state WARN documentation, did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding the reasons behind the operational shutdown.
