UPS Freight has accelerated shipping times on nearly 1,000 traffic lanes originating in metropolitan areas in the Southwest and Southeast to points across the US.
Transit times have been reduced by one or two days from points in eleven states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas.
These improvements are being made without adjusting rates.
The latest round of enhancements, which are being made without adjusting rates, follow nationwide improvements made last year on more than 8,000 lanes.
Similar network improvements, in a phased plan, will be made throughout other regions of the country later this year.
Examples of the network enhancements include placing all of New England under a two-day delivery umbrella from Memphis, Tennessee, and shipments from Charlotte, North Carolina reaching destinations as far as Dallas, Texas and Columbia, Missouri in two days.
