FedEx Freight cuts ribbon at new Toronto headquarters

TORONTO — FedEx Freight Canada officially unveiled today its new combined national headquarters and 48 door cross-dock service center, in North York, Ont.

Formerly Watkins Canada Express, FedEx Freight Canada officially began operations in February.

The transborder LTL freight company provides all-points coverage to more than 7,000 cities in 10 of the country’s provinces, as well as shipments to and from the U.S. and other locations.

“This new facility establishes a strong base from which FedEx Freight Canada will quickly expand its operations across the country,” said Grant Crawford, vice president and general manager, FedEx Freight Canada. “From British Columbia to Nova Scotia, we offer LTL customers the service excellence and reliability they’ve come to expect from the FedEx brand.”

In addition to Toronto, FedEx Freight Canada offers pickup and delivery service through a growing network of facilities that includes Vancouver, Winnipeg, London, Calgary and Montreal.

With an aggressive growth plan underway, the carrier also plans to add service centers in Ottawa, Cambridge, Edmonton, Halifax, and Quebec City, and will open expanded facilities in Winnipeg and Calgary during the next several months.
