FedEx Freight is claiming to offer the fastest trucking times in the US after recently enhancingits Priority service.
FedEx’s US road freight business said a market study that it commissioned had concluded thatFedEx Freight Priority has the fastest published transit times of any nationwide LTL service. Thestudy considered both expedited and non-expedited LTL services with published transit standards andnationwide coverage.
The company said its recently improved transit standards for FedEx Freight Priority furtheraccelerated shipping options for both U.S. domestic shipments and select shipments from the U.S. toCanada. The Priority service continues to offer all-points coverage nationwide for LTL shipments,backed by a no-fee money-back guarantee on all eligible shipments.
“These enhancements are part of FedEx Freight’s ongoing commitment to transform LTL shippingwith faster, more reliable service offerings that better fit the needs of businesses today,” saidBill Logue, FedEx Freight president and CEO. “Our improved transit standards will benefit LTLshippers who need a speed advantage to reach their markets faster or reduce inventory carryingcosts, all with the service and reliability they have come to expect from FedEx Freight.”
FedEx Freight said that over the past two years it has delivered innovative solutions to the LTLmarket, including the introduction of FedEx Freight Priority and FedEx Freight Economy to meet theneeds of businesses for speed and value. While both services offer reliable delivery and nationwidecoverage, FedEx Freight Priority is the choice for businesses when speed is critical while FedExFreight Economy is the choice when customers can trade time for savings.
“Customers have responded positively to our unique service offerings, and value the choice oftwo reliable services across all lengths of haul,” said Logue.
