FedEx is launching a space and speed pricing pilot for select customers that will price LTL based on size. FedEx said the pilot will provide a simple quote based on the space and speed customers need to ship their shipment, with customers providing the shipment's weight, dimensions, origin zip code and destination zip code to get a quote.

After a shipment is received, FedEx uses Dynamic Dimensions (DIM) technology to verify the weight and dimensions of the shipment. This process eliminates the need for complex freight classification under the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) pricing system, simplifies the pricing structure and eliminates the need to classify freight. The relevant person in charge said that simple pricing through space and speed can ensure that customers receive accurate pricing at the front end, thereby building customer confidence, and reducing the frequency of price adjustments and disputes at the back end.
