Putnam Trucking on Moxahala Avenue is one of the latest and had to lay off 12 employees in the past few weeks.
According to Ralph Hennessey, the economy is causing havoc on trucking companies across the nation.
"We're not the only ones to see this," Hennessey said. "There have been huge layoffs at bigger companies across the U.S., so I guess we're lucky we've only had to lay off the small number we did."
Hennessey said his company now has 40 employees, down from the 52 it had earlier in the year.
"We're hoping this is all we have to do," Hennessey said. "But due to the economy, there's been a big slow down and companies are all having to make adjustments."
