FedEx Routes for Sale in Dallas, TX

Route Advisors brokers FedEx Ground P&D, linehaul and Amazon DSP route businesses across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. FedEx routes for sale in Dallas TX rarely come to market as single runs. They come as packages, and they move fast. One current Dallas County listing carries 13 FedEx Ground P&D routes at $1,350,000 against $250,000 in annual cash flow. Across every route business we have listed, asking prices run 1.6x to 6.0x cash flow with a median of 3.6x. Which end of that range a DFW package lands on comes down to three things: who runs it, what the drivers cost, and which station it operates from.

We have one active Dallas-area package right now: 13 FedEx Ground P&D routes based in Mesquite, eastern Dallas County, asking $1,350,000 on $250,000 cash flow. Inventory in this metro does not sit long.

A significant share of what we broker never reaches the website. Sellers who are still operating cannot afford their drivers or their station manager learning the business is for sale, so those packages are shown only after an NDA. If nothing published matches what you want in DFW, ask. The confidential list is usually longer than the public one.

DFW route businesses are shaped by scale. The metro runs from the urban core to genuine exurbs, and a Contracted Service Area inside Loop 12 behaves nothing like one in Ellis or Parker County. Inside the core you get high stop counts over short stem miles. Out past the ring, you get the same package volume spread across three times the ground, and fuel and hours to match.

The demand underneath it is not speculative. The Dallas–Fort Worth metro reached roughly 8.48 million people in July 2025, adding more than 123,000 residents in twelve months, the second-largest gain of any US metro. Collin County alone added close to 43,000. That growth has cooled to about 1.4% a year from 2.3%, which matters when you are modelling forward rather than selling a story.

The commercial side is stronger still. DFW holds about 1.12 billion square feet of industrial space and led the country with 28.8 million square feet under construction entering 2026. The AllianceTexas corridor in north Fort Worth, anchored by the BNSF intermodal facility, added two more buildings in 2026 at 268,623 and 501,235 square feet. Warehouses generate commercial stops and linehaul volume. That base is why DFW route packages hold value.

Route businesses are priced on cash flow, not revenue and not route count. Across our current listings, asking prices range from 1.6x to 6.0x annual cash flow, median 3.6x. FedEx Ground P&D packages specifically run 2.7x to 5.4x. That spread is wide because the drivers behind it are specific:

Seller’s discretionary earnings (SDE) is the cash available to a single owner-operator after adding back owner pay and one-off costs. Larger packages get valued on EBITDA instead, because the buyer is acquiring a business, not a job. The Mesquite package is asking 5.4x, at the top of our P&D range. Ask why before you assume it is expensive, and ask why before you assume it is not.

Buying a route means being approved as an Independent Service Provider by FedEx Ground. No deal closes without it. The sequence: you submit a Request for Information, FedEx runs background and financial review, you interview with the terminal’s senior manager, and a negotiated agreement is executed before the business transfers.

Plan for approval to add several weeks past the purchase agreement. You will need an entity, a DOT number, BOC-3 filings and the insurance FedEx requires, and you will need to show the capital to run the business, not only to buy it. Anyone promising you a date is guessing.

Most Texas route acquisitions run through an SBA 7(a) loan. Lenders typically want a 10% to 30% equity injection, 20% being the common ask, and a structure of 10% buyer cash plus a 10% seller note is used constantly to get there.

Bring three years of tax returns and P&Ls, the operating agreement, an equipment schedule with values, and a resume that shows logistics or management experience. Budget working capital on top of the purchase price. Payroll runs before settlements land, and that gap has caught more first-time buyers than any other line item.

We would rather you hear this from us than from a lender three weeks in.

Network 2.0. FedEx is consolidating Express and Ground into shared facilities, roughly 25% complete and targeted for US completion by the end of 2027, with more than 475 station closures expected across the network. Ask which station the routes run from and what its status is. A package attached to a station facing consolidation is a different asset than one already converted, and it should not be priced the same.

Driver cost. This is the number that decides whether a P&D package works. DFW average hourly pay across all occupations was $33.96 in May 2025, and metro compensation costs rose 2.7% in the year to June 2026. Logistics here competes with construction and manufacturing for the same people. If a package’s margin depends on paying below market, that margin is borrowed, and a lender will find it.

Fuel. Texas diesel averaged $5.83 a gallon in September 2026, up $2.62 year over year. On long-stem-mile territories in the outer metroplex that is not a rounding error. A P&L built on last year’s fuel line is understating today’s cost, and you should re-run it before you sign anything.

We broker FedEx Ground P&D, solo and team linehaul, and Amazon DSP route transactions across the US and Canada. Our lead broker is a Certified Business Intermediary and an IBBA member.

We publish asking prices and cash flow on our listings instead of making you call to find out whether a deal is even in your range. What a broker is actually for is the part you cannot see from a listing: whether the cash flow survives normalisation, what the station situation really is, and whether the seller is ready for a lender’s diligence or about to waste ninety days of yours.

How much do FedEx routes sell for? FedEx route businesses are priced on cash flow. Across Route Advisors’ current listings, asking prices range from 1.6x to 6.0x annual cash flow, with a median of 3.6x. FedEx Ground P&D packages range from 2.7x to 5.4x. Final price depends on management structure, driver tenure, equipment age and the status of the station the routes operate from.

Do I need to own trucks to buy a FedEx route? Yes. FedEx Ground Independent Service Providers supply their own vehicles, which is why equipment value is built into the purchase price. Most packages transfer with the existing fleet. Review an equipment schedule with ages, mileage and maintenance history before agreeing a price, because near-term replacement is a real and frequently underestimated cost.

How long does FedEx take to approve a route transfer? FedEx approval typically adds several weeks after a purchase agreement is signed. The process covers a Request for Information, background and financial review, an interview with the terminal senior manager, and execution of the negotiated agreement. No broker or seller can guarantee approval or a firm date, so treat any timeline offered up front as an estimate.

Can I buy a FedEx route with an SBA loan? Yes. SBA 7(a) is the most common financing route for FedEx route acquisitions. Lenders generally require a 10% to 30% equity injection, with 20% most common, and a 10% cash plus 10% seller note structure is widely used. Lenders experienced with FedEx ISP deals will want three years of financials and a full equipment schedule.

What is the difference between P&D and linehaul routes? Pickup and delivery routes serve a defined Contracted Service Area and earn on stops and packages. Linehaul routes move freight between FedEx facilities on scheduled runs and earn on miles and contract terms. They carry different labour models, different equipment and different risk, and should be valued separately rather than blended into one price.

What does Network 2.0 mean for a route I am buying in Dallas? Network 2.0 is FedEx’s consolidation of its Express and Ground networks into shared facilities, roughly 25% complete and targeted for US completion by the end of 2027, with more than 475 station closures expected. Before buying, confirm which station the routes operate from and whether it is already converted, scheduled for consolidation, or unaffected.

Are there FedEx routes for sale in Dallas right now? Route Advisors has an active Dallas-area listing of 13 FedEx Ground P&D routes in Mesquite, Dallas County, asking $1,350,000 against $250,000 cash flow. Inventory changes frequently and a number of packages are listed confidentially without a named city, so current DFW availability is best confirmed directly with us.

Do I need a licence to buy a FedEx route in Texas? No licence is required to buy a route business in Texas. Real estate licensing applies only where real property is part of the sale; a pure asset sale of goodwill, equipment and contracts falls outside it. You will still need a business entity, a DOT number, BOC-3 filings and the insurance FedEx requires.
