FedEx Freight Inc., a subsidiary of multinational transportation company FedEx, is an American less-than-truckload (LTL) freight carrier headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee which operates LTL and other freight services in the US and Canada. The company is the largest LTL carrier in the US. It was formed in 2002 by FedEx as the parent company of regional US LTL carriers American Freightways (AF) and Viking Freight, acquired as part of the 1998 FedEx acquisition of Caliber System, when FedEx acquired AF. During this reorganization, AF was renamed FedEx Freight East to reflect its focus on the Eastern US and Viking was renamed FedEx Freight West given its focus on the Western US. When FedEx acquired Lakeland, Florida-based Watkins Motor Lines in 2006, these three were merged into a single entity, FedEx Freight Inc.

The earliest predecessor of FedEx Freight was founded in Harrison, Arkansas in 1982 by businessman Sheridan Garrison as Arkansas Freightways. When the company went public in 1989 it served 9 states in the Southeastern US.
