U-nited P-roblem S-olvers…
...REMEMBER ANY OF THESE CATCHY PHRASES IN THE PAST FIFTY YEARS?... ONE SHOULD RING A BELL...BUT, IS IT THOSE CLEVER CATCHPHRASES THAT KEEPS THEIR BUSINESS "ROLLING", OR THEIR EFFICIENT, QUALITY SERVICE THAT MAKES THEM THE
"#1 PACKAGE DELIVERY SERVICE AROUND THE WORLD"?
..IT ALL HELPS, AND WHAT BEGAN JUST BEFORE
WORLD WAR I
, WHEN PACKAGE DELIVERY COMPETITORS SUCCESSFULLY MERGED AND FORMED THE
UNITED PARCEL SERVICE
, HAS BECOME A STORY OF A OF A DYNAMIC BUSINESS GROWTH TO THE KING OF THE COMMERCIAL SHIPPERS...
.. THE INFANCY OF DELIVERY SERVICES BEGAN MAKING TRAVEL ON FOOT AND WITH BIKES, BUT THE INVENTION OF MOTORIZED VEHICLES HELPED SPIKE PRODUCTIVITY...UP IN
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
,
JAMES CASEY
AND
CLAUDE RYAN
FOUNDED THE
AMERICAN MESSENGER COMPANY
IN 1907...WHILE PERFORMING DELIVERY CONTRACTS FOR THE
UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE
, THEY REALIZED THEY COULD PROVIDE FASTER AND BETTER SERVICES WITH THAT NEW
"HORSELESS CARRIAGE"
THAT
HENRY FORD
WAS MASS PRODUCING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
20TH CENTURY
... WITH THE PURCHASE OF A
MODEL T FORD
IN 1913, THEY HAD THEIR FIRST FLEET VEHICLE AND COULD NOW DELIVER PACKAGES, WHEN THEIR FIRST MERGER TOOK PLACE...THEY FORMED
MERCHANTS PARCEL DELIVERY
WITH ANOTHER LOCAL COMPETITER
EVERT MCCABE,
WHO HAD THE BURGEONING.
MCCABE MOTORCYCLE DELIVERY COMPANY
, AND A FLEET OF MOTORBIKES...
...TO EXPAND, THE COMPANY NEEDED MORE BUSINESS SAVVY, MANPOWER AND VEHICLES, AND IT WAS IN 1916 WHEN
CHARLIE SODERSTROM
(ANOTHER LOCAL INDEPENDANT DELIVERY BUSINESSMAN), JOINED IN WITH HIS RESOURCES, UNITING THE DELIVERY BUSINESSES INTO THE UNITED PARCEL SERVICE..THE NAME WAS SIGNIFICANT OF THEIR UNITY AND WHAT THEY WHAT THEIR CHIEF SERVICE WAS, DELIVERING PACKAGES... AS SUCH CASEY, RYAN, MCCABE AND SODERSTROM ARE CREDITED AS FOUNDERS OF
UPS,
AND
WITH MORE MANPOWER AND VEHICLES, THEY COULD NOW EXPAND, AND WOULD WANDER INTO
CALIFORNIA...
...
THE COMPANY OBTAINED
COMMON CARRIER SERVICE
(REGULAR ROUTES/REGULAR RATES)
IN
LOS ANGELES
IN 1922, AND IN 1930 BEGAN SERVICES OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA...THEY BEGAN THEIR FIRST COMMON CARRIER STATUS OUTSIDE CALIFORNIA IN
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
IN 1953...BY 1975, "BROWN" WAS IN THE CONTIGUOUS (48) STATES AND
CANADA
, HAVING MOVED HEADQUARTERS EAST TO
GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT
...THEN CAME GLOBAL EXPANSION (1976),
NEXT DAY AIR
(1985), AND ANOTHER HQ MOVE TO
SANDY SPRINGS
IN 1991, NEAR
ATLANTA, GA
...IT WAS ALL ABOUT KEEPING UP WITH THE GROWTH AS THEY WERE DELIVERING APPX (12) MILLION ITEMS PER DAY IN THE EARLY 90s...
...TO HELP MANAGE THE VOLUME AND CONTINUE THE SPEED AND SERVICE, NUMEROUS TECHNOLOGIES HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED TO RECORD, DELIVER, TRACK AND NETWORK INFORMATION TO KEEP SHIPMENTS MOVING, ALONG WITH
ON-LINE SERVICE (UPS.COM)
IN 1994...AND (WHAT COMPANY HAS NOT EXPERIENCED LABOR PROBLEMS), WHEN A UNION LED WALKOUT OCCURED IN 1997, PULLING (185,000) WORKERS OFF OF THE FORCE, AND "BROWN" COULD NOT DO A THING FOR YOU, FOR (16) DAYS...
...A MONTH BEFORE THE WORLD SANG
AULD LANG SYNE
IN 2000, UPS BEGAME "
