UPS lines up assets, personnel for holiday season
UPS is making their preparations for the annual Christmas shipping rush, hiring 70,000 seasonal workers, adding 7,000 vehicles to its fleet of 88,000 vans and trucks, and temporarily leasing two-dozen cargo jets.
The extra resources will be necessary to hand an estimated 340 million packages between Thanksgiving and Christmas, UPS said. The Atlanta-based package delivery giant said its busiest day will be Dec. 21, when about 20 million air and ground packages will be delivered, six million more than normal.
