How do I know if my shipment is classified as freight?

Any shipment over 150 lbs. is considered freight. Freight shipping is transported in bulk by ship, aircraft, truck, or intermodal via train and road. It can be shipped domestically or internationally by land, air, or sea.

FedEx offers two freight transportation services: LTL (less-than-truckload) shipping and FedEx Express^® Freight. Start with our freight shipping basics to learn more about calculating freight costs and scheduling a pickup.
