The acquisition of the assets of Watkins Motor Lines, rebranded FedEx National LTL, extended FedEx's leadership position in the less-than-truckload (LTL) freight sector and provided new growth opportunities for the business. FedEx customers had increasingly asked for a broader range of transportation and supply chain services, and because of this acquisition, FedEx is in a better position to meet their expectations.
FedEx Freight, combined with FedEx National LTL, forms one of the industry's most well-rounded LTL transportation solutions, providing customers with an unmatched suite of solutions under one brand.
The FedEx Freight network is designed to optimally serve the regional LTL sector, while FedEx National LTL is designed to serve the long-haul LTL sector. Together, the two companies provide outstanding service for the distinct regional and long-haul sectors of the LTL market.
The companies are also a strong cultural fit, sharing a commitment to their workforces that fosters dedication to delivering extraordinary value to customers. Both organizations have an empowered, highly trained, flexible workforce that drives superior, on-time performance.
FedEx has long recognized the value of reliable, less-than-truckload transportation to the global supply chain, creating FedEx Freight in 2001. Since its formation, FedEx Freight has grown to become the largest regional LTL provider in the United States.
FedEx Freight has raised the service level in the regional LTL sector, providing innovative customer solutions, enhanced information technology and value-added features such as a no-fee money-back guarantee and FedEx Freight Advance Notice, a proprietary tool that proactively informs customers of the status of their shipments. With FedEx National LTL, FedEx Freight extends its hallmark commitment to customer service and innovation to the long-haul LTL sector, building on Watkins' strong reputation for service and reliability.
