Hey Mac Guy, Actually UPS is one of the largest Trailer-on-flat-car shippers in the US. The drive the premium service network on BNSF and on CSX. They also run some on NS and the train mentioned above on UP. If you visit Chicago, their main Chicago area sorting center is right tight against BNSF Willow Springs ramp. They have a private gate into the ramp. Much of your ground service packages go via rail. Also, if you ship 2nd day and there is a weekend in there, they will many times ship by rail because the weekend gives them 2 free days in order to still deliver to you on the 2nd "business" day. UP used to haul massive amounts of UPS. When they merged with SP back in 1997, their service tanked really, really hard. UPS shifted a lot to BNSF at that time. UP just started to win some back and guess what...... service tanked again. The biggest trailer based intermodal companies in the US area... in no particular order .. Schneider National, Roadway, Yellow & UPS. The Less Than Truck Load guys (Roadway and Yellow) drive some pretty hot train service as well. Of course, UPS and the LTL guys pay a pretty high rate to ride those hot trains.
