[QUOTE="Ms.PacMan, post: 989201, member: 4656"] The reason is because UPS was not coast to coast until after 1975. UPS systematically fought to obtain authorization to ship freely in all 48 contiguous states. Finally, in 1975, the Interstate Commerce Commission granted UPS the authority to begin interstate service to and from Montana and Utah, and to extend statewide its partial service areas in Arizona, Idaho, and Nevada. UPS was also authorized to connect service in these five states with existing service on the Pacific Coast and with all states to the east. As a result, UPS became the first package delivery company to serve every address in the 48 contiguous United States. This historic convergence of service areas became known within UPS as the “Golden Link.” source ups.com [/QUOTE]
