UPS Freight is reducing transit times and expanding direct routing to and from northeast Kansas.
The effort will result in next-day service from Manhattan, Salina and Marysville to Kansas City, St. Louis, Wichita, Tulsa and Des Moines.
Under the new direct routing, UPS will be able to reach Houston, Nashville and New Orleans within a two-day span for the three northeast Kansas cities. Freight to the area from as far west as Los Angeles and San Diego and as far east as Norfolk and Richmond will be delivered within three business days.
Over the past two years, UPS has reduced transit times on some 16,000 lanes.
The new transit times are secured by UPS Freight's guaranteed service for all shipments moving under the current 560 Tariff. Freight customers have access to the same tracking and managing capabilities as UPS small package customers.
