New, expanded two-day guaranteed service zone will cover cities as far as Atlanta and St. Louis

UPS Freight has stretched its two-day delivery network from Montreal and Toronto as far south as Atlanta and St. Louis, continuing a 2009 initiative that reduced nearly 1,000 transit times between Canadian points and the US.

The new, faster transit times carry the same on-time, no-fee guarantee offered by UPS Freight on shipments originating and destined for points served by the Company’s service centres in Calgary, Edmonton, London, Moncton, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Windsor and Winnipeg.

The on-time service guarantee is available for less-than-truckload (LTL) customers on both sides of the border who ship using UPS Freight’s current UPGF525 tariff.

The two-day southbound service matches the Company’s two-day northbound service initiated last year and follows improvements in UPS Freight’s operating network and cross-border structure.

The new two-day transit times include Montreal to Milwaukee, Rockford, Illinois, and St. Louis. Also, Toronto now provides two-day service to key markets in Georgia and North and South Carolina to include Atlanta, Augusta, Charlotte, Charleston and Savannah.
