FedEx’s planned spinoff of its trucking unit, FedEx Freight, by June 2026 is expected to alter its contract agreements, prompting shippers to explore new less-than-truckload (LTL) options. Many smaller customers currently benefit from bundled contracts that offer discounts on parcel deliveries tied to their LTL volume. As FedEx aims to separate these agreements, customers could lose cost savings, particularly with rising surcharges. Experts advise shippers to understand their current contracts and renegotiate to maintain favorable pricing, as FedEx’s reputation for premium pricing may drive some to seek alternatives.
