[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 1511981, member: 2193"] UPS has been talking about doing this since early 2014 after the peak 2013 fiasco. It was mentioned in a few of the earnings calls last year as an option but it does not look like UPS pulled the trigger on this during peak 2014. UPS is clearly sending the message early that peak season "surge" pricing will happen in 2015. By sending the message now, it also alerts FedEx so they will implement similar rules as they don't want to be slammed with excess volume. As you said, supply & demand should dictate the pricing that is offered. [/QUOTE]
