kevin922 0 #27 June 14, 2005 Fedex does have this service, i'm sure UPS probably does to.

Ron 7 #28 June 14, 2005 QuoteActually, UPS is working on this as we speak. The reasoning behind this is not for the customer initally, it's to keep track of the drivers and make sure they're doing things as efficiently as possible. FedEx has the same program. QuoteI'm sure, though, after the technology is in place, we'll start to see the information becoming available to the customer as well. Maybe, maybe not.
