RICHMOND, Va., Aug 25, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- UPS Freight (NYSE:UPS) today announced improved transit times on more
than 1,200 traffic lanes originating in the Midwest, Northeast and
Mid-Atlantic. This marks the second time in just four months that the
heavy freight division of UPS has enhanced its network.

"These enhancements are part of a continual
process to add value for customers by improving the velocity of our
network," said UPS Freight President Jack
Holmes. "We have reduced transit times on more
than 10,000 lanes in the last 18 months."

New two-day lanes now in effect include Chicago to Dallas, Boston to St.
Louis and Philadelphia to Miami. The enhancements also expand the
next-day footprint of UPS Freight. Shipments moving from Cincinnati to
Memphis and Columbus, Ohio, to Charlotte, N.C., now will deliver
overnight.

Other originating major markets with reduced transit times include
Cleveland, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, New York City and Newark, N.J. The
faster transit times will bring cities as far as southern California,
Arizona and Utah to within two and three days of these originating
cities.

Earlier this year, UPS Freight announced new on-time performance
guarantees. Those guarantees will be extended to the enhanced transit
times announced today at no additional cost.

"With the economy still in the doldrums,
diesel prices rising to record levels and capacity issues emerging in
the trucking industry, shippers need the guaranteed transportation
services and technology tools provided by UPS to successfully run their
businesses," added Holmes.

In May, UPS Freight announced it had improved transit times on nearly
1,000 traffic lanes originating in metropolitan areas in the Southwest
and Southeast to points across the United States.

Specific lane enhancements and updated time-in-transit maps may be
viewed on www.ltl.upsfreight.com.
