FedEx Freight Company Description
For overnight shipments that won't fit in an envelope, there's FedEx Freight. The company, a subsidiary of express delivery giant FedEx, provides less-than-truckload (LTL) transportation services throughout the US and in Canada. (LTL carriers consolidate freight from multiple shippers into a single truckload.) The company operates from about 475 terminals through two regional subsidiaries, FedEx Freight East and FedEx Freight West, plus long-haul unit FedEx National LTL (formerly Watkins Motor Lines) and FedEx Freight Canada. Altogether, the FedEx Freight carriers maintain a fleet of about 61,000 vehicles and trailers.
