The slumping economy has a major trucking firm shutting down in Topeka.
YRC Worldwide plans to close this center by the end of the year.
About 90 employees handle billing and bill collecting there.
Half of the employees will be transferred to offices in Overland Park. The rest will have their jobs eliminated or outsourced.
The company's headquarters are in Overland Park. There are about 60,000 employees.
Keep an eye on Topeka's weather with the 49 ABC News Sky Cam.

If the Company is hurting so badly and the upper Management cares so deeply as they say they do then why would they not take a cut in pay for 2 years and bail out their own company? The way I understand it, some top Executives draw a $47.5 million dollar salary per year. Who in the world needs that kind of money??? Don't they think they could survive on $27.25 million for 2 years? And now they are out-sourcing jobs to India. What is America coming to? Are we such a greed ridden Nation that we are going to cut off our nose to spite our face? How sad, the greedy flippin beggars should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
