FedEx Freight cuts transit times to destinations across North America
Service improvements enable faster delivery of freight, quicker go-to-market time and better inventory management for customers.
FedEx Freight announced that it has reduced transit times on more than 3,300 regional next-day, second-day and extended routes since 1 January 2008.
Collectively, these transit-time enhancements at FedEx Freight improve service within the continental United States, Hawaii, Mexico and Canada. FedEx Freight offers next-day or second-day service for more than 68,000 network lanes.
The FedEx Freight dock and line haul planning system allows individual service centers to manage all shipments with up-to-the-minute visibility. Coupled with the company’s dock computer system, which controls dock routing and freight handling efficiency, service centers can meet strictly scheduled pickup and delivery times to ensure reliable movement of freight within the company’s transportation network.
Reduced transit times also improve FedEx Freight’s efficiencies by decreasing diesel fuel consumption and equipment use, which indirectly benefits customers while affirming the FedEx commitment to environmental responsibility.
