FedEx Freight has expanded its service center in Jackson, Miss., and increased its capacity at five other locations.
"These investments in our infrastructure are a critical part of our business model," said Douglas G. Duncan, president and CEO, FedEx Freight. "Because FedEx Freight meets the needs of fast-cycle distribution, it's important that we have the best facilities in strategic locations."
