The Freight Loss Data Exchange (FLDX) is a monthly process used to exchange foreign line debits for freight claims and produce settlement reports for railroads that participate in the National Damage Prevention and Freight Loss system. FLDX takes in freight loss data provided by participating railroads and forwards freight claim records and a net settlement report.
