MEMPHIS, Tenn.--(Business Wire)--
FedEx Freight, Inc., a leading provider of regional less-than-truckload (LTL)
services and an operating company of FedEx Corp. (NYSE:FDX), today added to its
industry-leading services, offering delivery by 10:30 a.m. backed by a
money-back guarantee. 

The new service, FedEx Freight A.M., is designed to offer greater flexibility
and control to shippers, whether they are meeting a unique need or as part of a
planned strategy to reach a market or customer earlier in the day. 

This new time-definite service is easy to use, economical and provides customers
with streamlined pricing. Customers may select FedEx Freight A.M. service by
making an on-line request or making a selection on the bill of lading, even at
the time of pick up. This simplifies the process by eliminating the need for
customers to call for a price quotation and service commitment. FedEx Freight
A.M. is priced with a flat rate, enabling customers to more accurately plan
budgets. 

"FedEx Freight has played a leadership role in the industry by bringing on-time
service to the LTL market. Today, we are enhancing our portfolio of reliable,
customized solutions by offering shippers the ability to receive shipments by
10:30 a.m., backed by a money-back guarantee. As companies further compress
supply chains and carefully manage inventory and cash flows, this level of
service is more important than ever," said Douglas G. Duncan, president and CEO,
FedEx Freight Corp. 

Shippers in a variety of market segments have asked for time-definite morning
deliveries, including wholesalers, manufacturers, suppliers serving retail
markets and producers of high-value goods. 

FedEx Freight was formed in 2001 to provide next-day and second-day LTL service
to benefit companies operating fast-cycle logistics. The company has a
highly-engineered network, which it continues to refine, reducing transit times
in more than 3,000 lanes in 2008.
