All the damn time. I always wave at them on the road and they don't wave back because they are jerks and I didn't realize it was freight.

I'm tired of seeing the gypos in our yard. We already used freight drivers during peak. I can totally see it happening. hall "it's ok, cause they are teamsters at least" what a joke.

I will be honest though, I always thought the grey, gold, and brown was pretty damn sweet. I sort of wish UPS would add another color in the mix. I always feel like we are out of date. O

It's probably cheaper when ordering tractors to get them in one color than two tone. I deliver to a UPS freight terminal and they are no way like us. They still reward service and safety milestones.

This is what they are all going to look like. The only way to tell them apart, besides being a Volvo that only freight is using, is the smaller UPS emblem on the door with UPS Freight below it. Their trailers still say freight (or Overnite, Motor Cargo, etc). But they still use Railboxes or rentals and from a distance, one cannot tell whether it is UPS or freight.

Freight is going to the Brown just like UPS. The only difference, besides being a Volvo, which UPS does not use yet, only Freight, is the smaller UPS logo on the door with UPS Freight below it.

I mean come on man... How long ago did we buy overnight and still have these crusty looking overnight trailers on the route; not to mention they are being pulled by the old school overnight tractors with the UPS door magnet sign on the side.
