UPS Freight Expands Ontario Hours

UPS Inc. said that its less-than-truckload unit is expanding pickup and delivery hours for trucks based at its London, Ontario, facility.

UPS Freight trucks will start deliveries an hour and a half earlier each morning and will continue pickups three hours later each day, UPS said Monday.

The change will allow Ontario customers to tender freight as much as three hours later and still reach as far south as Mississippi in two days.

UPS also said that it has hired Allan Robison as vice president of sales for UPS Freight's Canadian business. Robison was the president of Reimer Express until his retirement last year.

UPS is ranked No. 1 on the Transport Topics 100 listing of U.S. and Canadian for-hire carriers.
