Hoover's coverage by Nancy Daniels

Overview

The ubiquitous Brown is more than chocolate-colored trucks or a plain-vanilla delivery business. United Parcel Service (UPS) is the world's largest package delivery company, transporting some 15 million packages and documents per business day throughout the US and to more than 220 countries and territories. Its delivery operations use a fleet of about 93,000 motor vehicles and about 500 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) and truckload (TL) freight transportation through UPS Ground Freight. (LTL carriers combine freight from multiple shippers into a single truckload.)
