Ups freight

[retired2000]

When did ups start using all brown tractors for ups freight?

 

[scratch]

I have been seeing them for the second year now.

Maybe they were borrowing a UPS tractor. Around here it is all two toned tractors.

They are in the process of rebranding freight.

The brown is to blend in with the package side so they can have freight-truckload steal union work.

UPS Freight is union. I guessing you mean lower wage freight taking the higher paid feeder jobs. Has anyone seen this happening yet, since it is in the new contract.

Freight-truckload is not. Freight is. I do not know the difference other than pay.

Probably just getting parcel's old crap tractors.

Still the old Overnite Volvos?

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

In my area you still see Overnight tractors and trailers. A few more brown UPS Fright tractors and UPS trailers. Hasn't been like almost 10 years now since UPS acquired Overnite Freight.

What do they call it? Didn't know UPS had a separate entity that only delivered truckload.

UPS Freight LTL is union.
UPS Freight Truckload is not union.

These were newer rigs. Hauling ups freight trailers with the ups logo on them. Went down route81 to tenn this week saw a lot of them

The first ones came out mid 2012. Very slow release.

Isn't UPS Freight truckload called Cartage Services or something like that?

I'm not sure, I tried looking up their CSA scores and they (freight and freight-truckload) operate under the same numbers AFAIK. I took note of the number listed on the freight trucks and the freight truckload trucks.

Cartage is heavy air freight. Totally separate from UPS freight. Both are union...

UPS Cartage Services Inc. (CSI) was Emery Air Freight (& I think another air freight co). White trucks with big UPS badge on the side. Here, their contract is a rider to the Parcel contract.
