[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 4757654, member: 1"] [B]UPS to Sell Trucking Unit Under CEO’s ‘Better-Not-Bigger’ Pledge - Yahoo[/B] United Parcel Service Inc. agreed to sell its short-haul trucking business for $800 million, the first substantial move in the “better-not-bigger” strategy that Carol Tome developed since taking over as chief executive officer in June. Canada’s TFI International Inc. will acquire the unit, one of the largest less-than-truckload carriers in the U.S., UPS said in a statement Monday. The eight-decades-old unit, separate from the package-delivery operation for which UPS is known, is primarily a business-to-business enterprise hauling large industrial cargo in big trucks. “The agreement allows UPS to be even more laser-focused on the core parts of our business that drive the greatest value for our customers,” Tome said in the statement. UPS will take a $500 million charge related to the sale, which is expected to be concluded in the second quarter. [/QUOTE]
