About
FedEx Freight is an LTL carrier for businesses shipping heavier freight and palletized orders. It focuses on freight service across the US, Canada, and Mexico, with options for faster delivery, lower-cost delivery, and heavy-item delivery support.
If you're evaluating ShipStation with FedEx Freight, the biggest gain is control. Your team can manage freight beside parcel shipments instead of bouncing between separate tools, which makes daily fulfillment easier to organize. Rate comparison helps you choose the right service for each load, while batch printing and automation cut repetitive prep work before freight leaves the dock.
ShipStation also gives growing teams stronger visibility across orders, labels, and tracking. You can use your own negotiated carrier rates, apply rules to repeat workflows, and keep freight moving through the right ship-from location. When orders rise, ShipStation helps your team stay fast without adding the same amount of manual effort.

FAQ
ShipStation FedEx Freight FAQ for rates, labels, tracking, and automation
Can I use FedEx Freight alongside parcel carriers in ShipStation?
Yes. ShipStation keeps parcel and LTL freight in the same workflow, so your team doesn’t need separate daily processes for different shipment types. That matters when some orders go out in boxes and others move on pallets. Instead of switching tools, your team can manage both from one place and keep fulfillment work more consistent across busy days.
Can I compare FedEx Freight rates inside ShipStation?
Yes. ShipStation lets you compare shipping options across parcel and freight, which gives you more control before you book a shipment. That makes it easier to weigh cost against service level and choose the option that fits the order. If your business ships a mix of urgent and cost-sensitive freight, that side-by-side view helps your team make cleaner decisions without slowing down.
Do I have to give up my negotiated FedEx Freight pricing?
No. ShipStation supports your own negotiated carrier rates, so you don’t have to abandon the pricing you already use. Your team can bring those rates into the same workflow and compare them during shipment planning. That gives finance and operations better visibility into freight spend while keeping the booking process simpler for the people doing the daily work.
Can ShipStation automate FedEx Freight shipping tasks?
Yes. ShipStation automation rules can apply the carrier, service, package details, tags, and ship-from location based on the order. That cuts manual clicks and helps your team standardize repeat freight work. It also helps your team spend less time on routine decisions before freight moves out.
What does ShipStation do for FedEx Freight tracking?
ShipStation keeps tracking in the same shipping workflow your team already uses for orders and labels. That means freight status doesn’t need to live in a separate process from parcel shipping. When operations, support, and warehouse teams all work from one shipping system, it gets easier to monitor outbound freight, answer customer questions, and stay on top of shipments that need attention.
Can warehouse tools support FedEx Freight orders?
Yes. ShipStation gives teams warehouse tools that help larger and more complex orders move with better accuracy before they ship. Pick lists, barcode scanning, and mobile picking keep work organized on the floor, especially when volume rises. These tools help teams stay organized and catch mistakes before freight leaves the facility.
Can I use ShipStation's LTL freight workflow for cross-border FedEx Freight shipping?
No. ShipStation’s LTL freight workflow is US-only right now. That means businesses using FedEx Freight through ShipStation should plan LTL operations around domestic US freight workflows inside ShipStation. If you also ship parcel internationally, ShipStation supports international parcel shipping through its broader carrier network, but that is separate from the current LTL freight workflow.
