FedEx reveals LTL growth plans for Canada
FedEx Freight Canada said it plans to add terminals in Ottawa, Cambridge, Edmonton, Halifax and Quebec City, and expanded facilities in Winnipeg and Calgary during the next several months to increase its service capability.
The trucking company will lease the new facilities and renovate them to meet its standards, spokeswoman Denise Lauer said.
The company, created following the acquisition by FedEx of Watkins Motor Lines and Watkins Canada Express last year, is also trumpeting its rebranded headquarters and 48-door service center in Toronto.
FedEx Freight Canada officially launched service in February handling less-than-truckload shipments moving into and out of Canada and intra-Canada shipments. Watkins previously operated the Toronto facility.
