FedEx Enters Long Haul Market For Less Than A Truck Load

FedEx Corp. announced it has completed the $780 million cash purchase of the LTL operations of Watkins Motor Lines and certain affiliates. A privately held company based in Lakeland, Fla., Watkins Motor Lines is a leading provider of long-haul LTL services with more than $1 billion in annual revenue.

The operations of Watkins Motor Lines and Watkins Canada Express, Watkins’ LTL carrier in Canada, which together include more than 140 service centers and more than 14,000 tractors and trailers, will be re-branded FedEx National LTL and FedEx Freight Canada, respectively. Re-branding of both operations will begin immediately.

“These strategic additions to the FedEx portfolio offer more flexibility and greater value to shippers in the less-than-truckload sector,” said Frederick W. Smith, chairman, president and chief executive officer of FedEx Corp. “FedEx Freight, FedEx National LTL and FedEx Freight Canada create a reliable, single-source provider of one- and two-day regional as well as long-haul LTL services that customers have been requesting.” Other benefits customers will enjoy include easy access to bundled transportation solutions available with other FedEx operating companies, specifically FedEx Express and FedEx Ground.

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 centers comprise the FedEx Freight, FedEx National LTL, and FedEx Freight Canada networks. The companies will operate nearly 54,000 tractors and trailers to meet customers’ regional and long-haul LTL needs.

“FedEx National LTL and FedEx Freight Canada will provide the certainty and reliability of service that customers have come to expect from FedEx Freight,” said Douglas G. Duncan, president and chief executive officer of FedEx Freight. “As integration moves forward, FedEx National LTL will strengthen its focus on providing core long-haul services, while FedEx Freight Canada begins identifying service enhancement opportunities as we work together to grow our LTL market share throughout North America.”

With a workforce of nearly 9,000, FedEx National LTL will benefit from Watkins’ rich heritage in the transportation industry and a strong workplace culture similar to that of FedEx. “Over the years, Watkins’ teams have earned a stellar reputation for professionalism and dedication to customer service,” added Duncan. “They share these customer-focused priorities with an engaged FedEx workforce, a factor that will facilitate a smooth integration process, help grow our business and guide our company toward an even brighter future.”

Freight Shipping Too Big For Highways Now

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics is forecasting that Freight and Shipping will increase by 70% in the year 2020. That may seem like a long time from now, but we do not have the roads or the resources to support that increase. According to the Orlando Business Journal in an article written by Kent Hoover he states:

“Manufacturers and large retailers like Wal-Mart, which operates a fleet of 8,000 trucks, depend on an efficient transportation system to keep their shelves stocked without having inventory gathering dust. But small businesses also depend on “just in time” deliveries.”

He goes on to report:

“Congestion, combined with rising fuel prices, caused transportation costs to jump a record 14 percent last year.

The trend toward leaner inventories also reversed itself, largely due to “longer and sometimes unpredictable delivery times,” says Rosalyn Wilson, a transportation consultant who wrote the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals’ annual State of Logistics Report.

“We face capacity constraints at virtually all major freight gateways, and congestion and bottlenecks throughout the system,” Wilson says. “It is no longer a question of if we will reach a crisis point, but when.”

Meanwhile, trucking companies are having trouble keeping up with increased demand. They can’t find enough truck drivers, especially for long-haul routes, says Christopher Lofgren, president and CEO of Schneider National Inc., a trucking company based in Green Bay, Wis. Plus, a 12.38 percent federal excise tax on new equipment creates a disincentive for expanding truck fleets, he says.”

The freight and shipping business today is working at max capacity and we need to prepare for the future. If nothing is done to increase our capacity for shipping we may find ourselves gridlocked without the ability to get good to the consumer.
