UPS Freight Extends Guarantee to Canada
UPS Freight, which introduced its on-time performance guarantee in the United States in January, said Monday it has expanded the guarantee to shipments moving in both directions across the Canada-U.S. border.
“The reliability guarantee is a direct result of UPS's experience with freight, brokerage and customs clearance, as well as our in-bond freight expertise,” said Rick Smith, UPS Freight’s Canada director.
UPS Freight is the less-than-truckload unit of UPS Inc.
The new reliability guarantee, offered at no additional cost, applies to direct shipments between points served by UPS Freight service centers in the Canadian cities of Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Moncton, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Windsor and Winnipeg, and the lower 48 United States.
The guarantee is being offered at a time of continued strong trade growth between the two countries, as the Department of Transportation said says surface transportation trade totaled $45 billion in February, up 18% over the last year.
UPS is ranked No. 1 on the Transport Topics 100 listing of U.S. and Canadian for-hire carriers.
