On October 2, 1997, FedEx reorganized as a holding company, '''FDX Corporation''', a [[Delaware General Corporation Law|Delaware corporation]].<ref name=":6">Delaware Department of State, Division of Corporations, [https://delecorp.delaware.gov/tin/controller Online Services] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721035421/https://delecorp.delaware.gov/tin/controller |date=July 21, 2011 }}; File No. 2803030.</ref> The new holding company began operations in January 1998, with the acquisition of [[Caliber System|Caliber System Inc.]] by Federal Express. With the purchase of Caliber, FedEx started offering other services besides express shipping. Caliber subsidiaries included RPS, a small-package ground service; Roberts Express, an expedited shipping provider; Viking Freight, a regional, [[Less-than-truckload shipping|less-than-truckload]] [[Freight company|freight carrier]] serving the Western United States; Caribbean Transportation Services, a provider of airfreight forwarding between the United States and the Caribbean; and Caliber Logistics and Caliber Technology, providers of logistics and technology services. FDX Corporation was founded to oversee all of the operations of those companies and its original air division, Federal Express.<ref name="AboutFedEx" />

In January 2000, FDX Corporation changed its name to '''FedEx Corporation''' and re-branded all of its subsidiaries. Federal Express became FedEx Express, RPS became [[FedEx Ground]], Roberts Express became FedEx Custom Critical, and Caliber Logistics and Caliber Technology were combined to comprise FedEx Global Logistics. A new subsidiary, called FedEx Corporate Services, was formed to centralize the sales, marketing, and customer service for all of the subsidiaries. In February 2000, FedEx acquired Tower Group International, an international logistics company. FedEx also acquired WorldTariff, a [[customs duty]] and tax information company; TowerGroup and WorldTariff were re-branded to form FedEx Trade Networks.<ref name="AboutFedEx" />
