The hard work and dedication of our drivers, and every UPSer, fuels the success of our company as we serve customers and communities around the world.

As we navigate an unprecedented business landscape, we are executing the largest network reconfiguration in UPS history. For the first time ever, in recognition of these unique circumstances, we are offering our full-time U.S. drivers the opportunity to participate in a voluntary program that provides an opportunity to receive a generous financial package if they choose to leave UPS. The financial package available through this program is in addition to any earned retirement benefits, including pension and healthcare. Each driver has the ability to decide if this voluntary program is beneficial to their family and the plans they have for their future.

As we work through our network reconfiguration, we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing our customers with the reliable, industry-leading service they expect from UPS.
