FedEx Truckload Brokerage moves into Canada
FedEx Truckload Brokerage, a subsidiary of FedEx Custom Critical, said today it has expanded its services into Canada.
A FedEx spokesperson told LM that since FedEx Truckload Brokerage launched last year, its customers “have been asking us to handle their Canadian shipments, so this was the natural next step for FedEx Truckload Brokerage.”
The biggest benefit of this Northern expansion for shippers, according to the spokesperson, is simply that they have a FedEx service for their truckload shipments to and from Canada.
FedEx Truckload Brokerage initially hit the market in a “soft launch” in January 2007, and it formally hit the market the following April. The service is focused on providing shippers with full-service truckload brokerage service offerings, ranging from regular, dry-van freight to oversized pieces that need flatbed trailers, according to FedEx Custom Critical. And it added that additional resources can be deployed for shipments that need temperature control functionality.
A little more than a year ago, the list of qualified carriers that meet FedEx’ requirements was comprised of more than 100 carriers. Today, the spokesman said, FedEx Truckload Brokerage works with 275 carriers, with approximately 10 percent of those carriers offering cross-border services between the U.S. and Canada.
