UPS improves transit times on routes

8/28/2008 10:21:37 AM

UPS Freight, the less-than-truckload and truckload arm of UPS, said it is offering improved transit times on more than 1,200 traffic lanes originating in the Midwest, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.   New two-day lanes now in effect include Chicago to Dallas, Boston to St. Louis and Philadelphia to Miami. The enhancements also expand the next-day footprint of UPS Freight. Shipments moving from Cincinnati to Memphis and Columbus, Ohio, to Charlotte, N.C., now will deliver overnight.   Other originating major markets with reduced transit times include Cleveland, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, New York City and Newark, N.J. The faster transit times will bring cities as far as southern California, Arizona and Utah to within two and three days of these originating cities.   The company said it had reduced transit times on more than 10,000 lanes in the last 18 months.   American Shipper
