    I’ve seen these UPS sleeper trucks. I know they have contractors like FedEx Ground. But are they all contractors? I know I’ve seen actual UPS brown sleeper trucks too. Do they actually run teams?

    @FlaSwampRat is an excellent source of information for all things UPS. I'm sure he will give you his thoughts when he gets on the board.

    They are not contractors and I have never seen a brown sleeper, they are always white but that could just be an easy coast thing? We occasionally used gypsy's to move trailers when we were short but otherwise everyone is a company employee. They are running a metric #### ton of teams now because the billions they put into the rail network didn't work out.

    Lol I’m usually passed 2-3 times a week by a UPS brown Volvo sleeper. Both single and dual axle.

    Mannnnnnn she’s killing it. Hands silky smooth on the wheel and picked up floating this 13 speed really quick. You’d think she’s being doing this for years instead of barely over a month
