FedEx raising LTL rates 5.7% in January

 FedEx Freight and FedEx National LTL said Friday they will implement 5.7 percent general rate increases effective Jan. 5.



   Both less-than-truckload companies are part of the FedEx Freight Corp. operating division of FedEx Corp. Rates for other operating companies within FedEx Corp., specifically FedEx Express and FedEx Ground, are not affected.



   FedEx National LTL operates in facilities in San Bernardino, Calif.; Phoenix; Decatur, Ala.; and Rock Island, Ill. The company is also transitioning from non-decking trailers to units with decking, which it says reduces the potential for damage to freight.



   After Jan. 5 the new base rate and rules tariffs for FedEx Freight will be available on the company's Web site, www.fedex.com/us/freight/main/ and new base rates and rules tariffs for FedEx National LTL will be available at fedex.com/us/national/main/.
