Being named one of Kansas City Business Journal’s best places to work and one of Inc’s 1,660 fastest-growing companies in America is a testament to our dedication. We are thrilled for the promising prospects ahead.”
The newly added jobs at WLX | Western Logistics Express will offer wages above the county average. The downtown location also offers easy access to amenities and transportation options, making it a prime location for employees.
