UPS Launches Same-Day Service Upgrades

UPS said Wednesday it launched UPS Express Critical, a same-day service that allows customers to more effectively manage package and heavy freight shipments.

Customers have a single call center, one bill and one Web site to manifest and track their urgent shipments, the parcel and package carrier said.

“This is a same-day critical service that works for any size or weight shipment while bringing tracking and billing together on a single platform,” said Dan Brutto, UPS president of global freight forwarding.

UPS ranked No. 1 on the 2007 Transport Topics 100 listing of U.S. and Canadian for-hire carriers.
