FedEx National LTL and FedEx Freight Canada each operate as a separate network within the FedEx Freight segment, which also includes FedEx Freight, FedEx Custom Critical and Caribbean Transportation Services. More than 470 service centres comprise the FedEx Freight, FedEx National LTL, and FedEx Freight Canada networks, and the companies will operate nearly 54,000 tractors and trailers. source – eyefortransport.com
