Competitors Respond to FedEx Freight Spinoff Plans

FedEx’s announcement of spinning off its less-than-truckload (LTL) division, FedEx Freight, has attracted attention from both industry competitors and financial analysts. Leading LTL companies such as Old Dominion Freight Line, XPO, Saia, and ArcBest have been closely monitoring the move, with many fielding questions during recent Q4 earnings calls about the potential impact on the LTL market.

Executives from these companies largely avoided detailed commentary on their largest competitor’s strategy but shared insights on how they are approaching the market as the FedEx Freight spinoff approaches.

Old Dominion Anticipates Continued Industry Discipline

Old Dominion Freight Line’s CFO, Adam Satterfield, indicated the company will be observing any potential changes in FedEx Freight’s market strategy, but expects the competitor to maintain discipline in the LTL space. The CFO noted that the market remains capacity-constrained following Yellow Corp.’s bankruptcy, as many service centers are yet to be fully reallocated.

Old Dominion’s leadership emphasized confidence in their own workforce stability, with CEO Marty Freeman highlighting their low sales workforce turnover, stating that maintaining strong internal retention is a priority.

XPO Sees Industry Validation

XPO’s CEO, Mario Harik, viewed FedEx’s planned spinoff as a validation of the strong dynamics in the LTL sector, where margin improvement is often driven by yield performance. He downplayed the immediate impact on XPO, noting that FedEx Freight remains a competitor now and will continue to be post-spinoff. Harik’s perspective reflects XPO’s experience with similar moves, as they previously spun off non-core business units.

Saia Focuses on Stability and Customer Needs

Saia, another LTL player, sees an opportunity to provide uninterrupted service amid potential changes at FedEx Freight. CEO Fritz Holzgrefe highlighted the importance of stability for customers, particularly in challenging economic conditions, and emphasized Saia’s commitment to maintaining consistent service. The company also stressed the significance of retaining its workforce and leadership, ensuring a steady approach as market dynamics evolve.

ArcBest Considers FedEx Move a Significant Event

ArcBest CEO Judy McReynolds described the FedEx Freight spinoff as a “big, noteworthy event” for the LTL industry. To prepare, the company has promoted Eddie Sorg to chief commercial officer, with a focus on capitalizing on market opportunities. ArcBest’s strategy involves expanding within its loyal customer base and refining execution across sales, marketing, and customer experience to strengthen its position.

Each competitor continues to evaluate the broader implications of the FedEx Freight spinoff while focusing on their individual strategies to navigate potential market shifts.
