LINEHAUL SUMMIT 2027
Where the BEST Contractors go to
learn how to SAVE TIME and MONEY
What to Expect
Built for First-through-Last-Mile Contractors
Linehaul Summit is the trucking industry's dedicated conference for FedEx Linehaul Contractors — new, existing, and experienced. LHS 2027 isn't a longer, three-day program — it's the most efficient consecutive 3-days of education paired with two major Solutions Provider EXPOs, built around your travel: a late-afternoon Kickoff EXPO the evening you arrive, a day and a half of intense education sessions with another EXPO in the middle, and — for those who want more — LH101 immediately following the close of the second education day. New this year will be the P&D ‘Show within a Show’ which offers separate Education Session tracks on Day 2!!!

Schedule
Three Full Days of Programming
LHS 2026 ran two full days but required unproductive travel days on both ends. LHS 2027 adjusts to three days and is now more efficiently laid out to include time for travel on both ends — all while still providing you with serious education, game-changing Expo time with Solutions Providers, and powerful networking. A detailed agenda will post closer to the event.

Put Your Brand in Front of the Best Contractors
