FedEx Freight Board Takes Shape as Spin-Off Date Approaches
FedEx has revealed the board of directors that will oversee FedEx Freight when it becomes an independent company in June 2026. The announcement marks a significant step forward in the parent company's plan to split off its less-than-truckload division into a standalone entity.
The spin-off, scheduled for June 2026, will create a separate publicly traded LTL carrier from what is currently FedEx's freight division. By establishing the board now, FedEx is laying the governance groundwork well ahead of the separation date.
For 3PL operators and freight brokers, this development signals that the FedEx Freight spin-off is moving from concept to reality. The creation of an independent FedEx Freight could reshape carrier relationships and pricing dynamics in the LTL space, as the new company will operate with its own strategic priorities separate from FedEx's integrated network.
The June 2026 timeline gives logistics providers roughly 18 months to prepare for how this separation might affect their carrier mix and customer commitments that involve FedEx Freight capacity.
