FedEx Freight Expands in Indianapolis with New Service Center and Job Openings.

FedEx Freight has opened a new service center in Greenwood, Indiana, to accommodate anticipated less-than-truckload growth in the South Indianapolis area.

FedEx Freight will hire for various roles, including drivers, freight handlers, and maintenance technicians. The company is in the process of becoming its own publicly traded entity following a spinoff from FedEx.

FedEx Freight has bolstered its presence in the Indianapolis market by opening a new service center in Greenwood, Indiana. The 43-acre facility, located at 2955 Allen Road along Interstate 65, is designed to accommodate anticipated less-than-truckload (LTL) growth in the South Indianapolis area [1]. The new service center, equipped with 125 doors and a 90,000 square-foot office, dock, and maintenance shop, will also serve the Louisville and Muncie markets [2].

The facility's expansion is part of FedEx Freight's strategic plan to optimize its facility footprint and invest in key markets. The new service center includes an office, dock, break room pod, on-site fueling services, and a 10,800-square-foot shop maintenance facility with six service bays and a truck wash bay [1]. This infrastructure will support FedEx Freight's growing operations and enhance its ability to serve the local and regional markets more efficiently.

The opening of the Greenwood facility increases FedEx Freight's door count in the Indianapolis market to 377, up from 252 [2]. The company plans to hire for various roles, including drivers, freight handlers, operations leadership, fleet maintenance technicians, and other support positions. The exact number of employees to be hired was not specified, but the facility is expected to contribute significantly to the company's workforce [1].

FedEx Freight's expansion comes at a time when the company is in the process of becoming its own publicly traded entity following a spinoff from FedEx. The spinoff, scheduled for June 2026, will make FedEx Freight a stand-alone entity [2]. The company has named John A. Smith as its next top executive, who previously served as COO for FedEx’s U.S. and Canada ground operations and held the role of FedEx Freight president and CEO between 2018 and 2021 [2].

The expansion of FedEx Freight's terminal network is crucial for the company's continued growth and competitiveness in the LTL market. The ability to serve a larger geographic area and accommodate increased demand will be essential for the company's success in the coming years.
