FedEx Corporation (NYSE:FDX) today announced that William J. Logue will retire as President and CEO of its FedEx Freight subsidiary on December 31, 2014.

“Bill Logue has led FedEx Freight to significant growth, success and a leading position in the LTL industry,” said Frederick W. Smith, Chairman and CEO of FedEx Corporation. “He navigated some of the worst economic conditions the industry has ever seen and delivered outstanding results while positioning FedEx Freight for long-term success.
