To track FedEx LTL freight, enter the shipment’s PRO number on the FedEx Freight tracking page at fedexfreight.com, which accepts up to 30 FedEx Freight or FedEx Custom Critical PRO numbers at once, separated by commas with no spaces. Logging in to a FedEx Freight account adds advanced tracking for up to 20,000 active shipments, with delivery estimates and proof of delivery.
FedEx Freight became an independent company on June 1, 2026, and its LTL shipping, billing and tracking now run on fedexfreight.com rather than fedex.com. This guide covers where to find the PRO number, what each LTL ground tracking status means, what changed with the separation, and what to do when tracking stalls.

How do you track FedEx LTL freight?
FedEx LTL freight is tracked by PRO number, the number the carrier assigns to each freight shipment. You can check status in a few steps:
- Find the PRO number. It’s on the PRO label attached to the freight, on the bill of lading and in your shipment confirmation.
- Open the FedEx Freight tracking page. Go to the tracking page on fedexfreight.com.
- Enter one or more PRO numbers. You can enter up to 30 at a time, separated by commas with no spaces.
- Read the status and estimate. The results show the latest scan, the shipment’s location in the network and the estimated delivery date.
- Log in for more. Account users get advanced tracking, proof of delivery and multi-shipment views.
If you can’t find tracking online, FedEx Freight Customer Support is listed at 1.866.FXF.4LTL (1-866-393-4585). Have the PRO number, the bill of lading and the pickup date ready when you call.
Where do you find a FedEx Freight PRO number?
A PRO number is the freight carrier’s shipment ID, the LTL equivalent of a parcel tracking number. One PRO number usually covers the whole shipment on a bill of lading, even when that shipment is several pallets. Our explainer on what a PRO number is in shipping covers how carriers assign them.
Look for the PRO number in these places:
- The PRO label on the freight, often a barcode sticker applied at pickup or before it.
- The bill of lading, where the shipper or driver records it.
- The pickup or shipment confirmation sent when the freight is booked.
- The freight invoice, which references the PRO for billing.
A PRO number is different from the shipper’s own references, such as a purchase order or bill of lading number. FedEx also uses reference fields on parcel shipments, and our guide to the FedEx reference number and how it’s used for tracking explains the difference. If you’re the receiver and don’t have the PRO, ask the shipper for it.
What do LTL ground tracking statuses mean?
LTL ground tracking follows freight through a carrier’s terminal network, so the statuses look different from parcel tracking. A shipment usually moves from the pickup terminal to one or more linehaul terminals and then to the delivering terminal. These are the stages most LTL carriers report, FedEx Freight included:
| Tracking stage | What it means |
|---|---|
| Picked up | The driver has collected the freight and the bill of lading is in the system |
| At origin terminal | The freight has been unloaded, weighed or measured, and is waiting for a linehaul trailer |
| In transit | The freight is on a linehaul trailer between terminals |
| At destination terminal | The freight has reached the terminal that will deliver it |
| Out for delivery | The freight is on a local truck headed to the consignee |
| Delivered | The consignee signed the delivery receipt; proof of delivery follows |
| Exception | Something held the shipment, such as a missed appointment, a closed receiver, weather or a paperwork issue |
Because freight is scanned mainly at terminals, it’s normal to see no update for a day or more while a trailer is on the road. For a broader look at how freight moves between terminals, see our guide to LTL freight and logistics.
How does FedEx Freight advanced tracking work?
Advanced tracking is the logged-in view on fedexfreight.com. FedEx Freight says it shows up to 20,000 active shipments at once, with estimated delivery dates and proof of delivery, which makes it the practical option for shippers with many open shipments.
Existing customers log in with the email address associated with their FedEx account, and each user needs a unique email, which becomes the login ID. FedEx Freight says shippers can keep using a FedEx Freight-enabled account number, and that access to tracking, billing, automation and historical shipping data remains available in the shipping account.
What changed for FedEx LTL tracking after the June 2026 separation?
FedEx completed the spin-off of FedEx Freight on June 1, 2026. FedEx Freight now trades on the New York Stock Exchange as FDXF and is a company focused on North American LTL freight. For tracking and shipping, these changes matter most:
- Use fedexfreight.com. FedEx Freight asks customers to update bookmarks to the fedexfreight.com website for shipping and tracking.
- Freight left fedex.com Ship Manager earlier. As of May 2, 2025, FedEx Ship Manager at fedex.com no longer supports LTL shipping; freight is booked on fedexfreight.com.
- New login path. Users need a new login, created with their account email.
- API changes. FedEx Web Services was retired on June 1, 2026, and integrations built on the older SOAP services need to move to the RESTful FedEx APIs to keep tracking data flowing.
- Rewards ended. FedEx Freight shipments stopped earning FedEx Rewards points as of April 30, 2026.
FedEx parcel shipments are still tracked separately on fedex.com. For the FedEx parcel side, see our FedEx shipping hub for rates, tracking and services.
Which FedEx Freight services can you track?
Every FedEx Freight LTL service is tracked the same way, by PRO number. The service determines how fast the shipment moves and how it’s delivered:
| Service | What FedEx Freight says it’s for |
|---|---|
| FedEx Freight Priority | Faster domestic LTL delivery for time-sensitive freight |
| FedEx Freight Economy | Lower-cost domestic LTL delivery when time is flexible |
| FedEx Freight Direct | Delivery of heavy shipments to the door, with flexible scheduling |
| Cross-border freight | LTL service across the U.S., Canada and Mexico |
| FedEx Custom Critical | Dedicated vehicles for urgent, high-value or hazardous freight |
Transit times depend on the lane, so check the estimate on your quote or in tracking rather than relying on a general range. Our overview of FedEx Freight Priority vs Economy LTL options compares the two main services in more detail. If your shipment is a parcel that just needs speed, our comparisons of FedEx 2Day vs Express Saver and FedEx overnight shipping options cover the express side.
What should you do when FedEx LTL tracking isn’t updating?
Most tracking gaps on LTL freight are normal: the shipment is on a linehaul trailer between terminal scans. When the gap runs past the estimated delivery date, work through these checks:
- Confirm the number. Make sure you entered the PRO number, not a purchase order, account or bill of lading number, and that multiple numbers are separated by commas with no spaces.
- Allow time after pickup. A new shipment may not show full detail until it has been processed at the origin terminal.
- Read the exception. An exception status usually names the cause, such as a refused or closed receiver, a missing appointment, or a weather delay.
- Check with the receiver. Many delivery holds come down to appointment requirements or limited-access sites.
- Call customer support. Contact FedEx Freight at 1.866.FXF.4LTL with the PRO and bill of lading.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I track a FedEx LTL freight shipment?
Track a FedEx LTL freight shipment by entering its PRO number on the FedEx Freight tracking page at fedexfreight.com. You can enter up to 30 FedEx Freight or FedEx Custom Critical PRO numbers at once, separated by commas with no spaces. Logged-in customers also get advanced tracking for up to 20,000 active shipments, with delivery estimates and proof of delivery.
What number do I use for FedEx LTL ground tracking?
FedEx LTL ground tracking uses the PRO number, the carrier’s ID for the freight shipment. It appears on the PRO label attached to the freight, on the bill of lading, in the shipment confirmation and on the freight invoice. A purchase order or account number won’t return results in the PRO tracking field, so ask the shipper for the PRO if you don’t have it.
Can I still track FedEx Freight on fedex.com?
FedEx Freight became an independent company on June 1, 2026, and asks customers to use fedexfreight.com for freight shipping and tracking. FedEx Ship Manager at fedex.com stopped supporting LTL shipping on May 2, 2025. FedEx parcel shipments, such as FedEx Ground and Express, are still tracked on fedex.com.
Why isn’t my FedEx LTL tracking updating?
FedEx LTL tracking often goes quiet while freight rides a linehaul trailer between terminals, because most scans happen at terminals. If the estimated delivery date passes with no update, check that you entered the PRO number correctly, read any exception message, confirm the receiver’s appointment needs, and contact FedEx Freight Customer Support at 1.866.FXF.4LTL.
