UPS is cutting costs — but is it cutting too deep? 📉
In this episode of Parcel Perspectives, Glenn Gooding unpacks why UPS’s aggressive strategy — 20,000 layoffs, 100+ facility closures, and a pullback from Amazon volume — might create more problems than it solves.
Glenn challenges the idea that UPS can “shrink to greatness” and explains what these changes really mean for shippers. You’ll hear:
How labor costs, the end of USPS DDU access, and the collapse of SurePost are driving up costs.
Why low-margin parcels are now being pushed to UPS’s highest-paid drivers.
How shrinking market share and margin pressure are making UPS’s pricing strategies more volatile.
👉 Key takeaways for shippers:
Diversify your carrier base
Understand your true parcel costs
Be ready to adapt as UPS leans harder into revenue recovery
If UPS is one of your primary carriers, this episode is a must-watch!
