Convoy’s plan to transform the trucking industry has come to a screeching halt.

The Seattle company is closing its core business and laying off a majority of its workforce. “We hoped this day would never come,” Convoy CEO Dan Lewis wrote in a memo sent to employees Thursday morning.

The startup sent shockwaves through the Seattle tech ecosystem and broader trucking sector after abruptly shutting down operations on Wednesday.
