UPS has already contacted the company about transporting its trucks, according to the 41 North license application to the Steamship Authority. In order to accommodate UPS’ lack of reservations, the boat line is offering the shipper the remaining available space on its Nantucket ferries, and prioritizing UPS trucks on its wait-lists, SSA general manager Bob Davis said late last month.
