UPS Company Description
It still relies on chocolate-colored trucks, but United Parcel Service (UPS) is more than a plain-vanilla ground delivery business. The world's largest package delivery company, UPS transports some 16 million packages and documents per business day throughout the US and to more than 200 countries and territories. Its delivery operations use a fleet of about 100,000 motor vehicles and about 600 aircraft. In addition to package delivery, the company offers services such as logistics and freight forwarding, through UPS Supply Chain Solutions, and less-than-truckload (LTL) freight transportation, through UPS Ground Freight. (LTL carriers combine freight from multiple shippers into a single truckload.)
