About the company
FedEx Freight is a North American carrier that moves less-than-truckload (LTL) freight, meaning shipments that are heavy enough for trucking but don’t need a full trailer. It runs the largest LTL network in the United States, created from Viking Freight and American Freightways through prior acquisitions, and it serves shipments within the U.S. and across borders to Canada and Mexico with a single bill of lading and a unified pickup/delivery system. Its services include FedEx Freight Priority for fast transit (about 1–3 days) and FedEx Freight Economy for cheaper, slower moves (about 3–6 days), along with time-definite options like A.M. Delivery, residential and retail delivery, and FedEx Custom Critical for high-value or hazardous shipments. In December 2024, FedEx announced plans to spin off FedEx Freight into a separate public company to unlock value and sharpen focus on the LTL market.
