FedEx Pays More for Transportation

Moving freight is getting more expensive for FedEx.

On October 28, 2026, FedEx reported that its purchased transportation rates increased during the third quarter.

The company's total quarterly revenue reached $22.9 billion.

Higher transportation costs, wages and other expenses partly offset stronger business results.

!What This Means for CDL Drivers

This could be an encouraging sign for trucking companies that provide transportation services to large customers.

But FedEx did not report a specific percentage increase in payments to independent truck drivers.
