   FedEx Freight, a provider of regional and interregional less-than-truckload services in the United States, has opened four new service centers and expanded a fifth facility as part of a 'long-term growth strategy focusing on next-day and second-day regional markets,' according to Douglas G. Duncan, president and chief executive officer of FedEx Freight.

   The company's new facilities are in Des Plaines, Ill.; Salem, Ore.; Texarkana, Ark., and Springfield, Mass. In Des Plaines, FedEx's 44,000-square-foot service center has 76 doors. The 10,000-square-foot facility in Salem has 28 service doors. The company's 17,000-square-foot center in Texarkana features 36 doors. In Springfield, the new facility has 18,000 square feet and 23 doors.

   In addition, FedEx Freight has added a supplemental building at the company's service center in West Babylon, N.Y., on Long Island. The expansion brings that facility to 17,000 square feet with 60 doors to handle freight.
