G.O.D, which stands for Guaranteed Overnight Delivery, began in 1983 and developed a load-to-ride style LTL operation that provided overnight delivery from Virginia to Maine, second-day delivery east of the Mississippi and third-day delivery to Texas.
The initials G.O.D. in huge letters on the sides of company trailers became a familiar sight, particularly in the Northeast where they sparked occasional controversy and inspired at least one Internet poet.
According to a press release from New Penn Motor Express, a subsidiary of Yellow Roadway, G.O.D. is advising LTL customers to call New Penn for pickups.
The change will not effect the company's ongoing truckload and air freight operations.
(editor's note) "G.O.D. Guaranteed Overnight Delivery" was the name of a 2001 movie, which the only English review available on the Internet Movie Data Base said "just plain stinks."
There is no reference to the actual company on the IMDB and G.O.D. president Walter Riley did not return a call for comment.
