# UPS LTL Freight Services Review: Pricing and Service Quality

 by [**Sarah Fidrych**](https://blog.loadsmart.com/author/sarah-fidrych)

**Key Takeaways**

- UPS sold its LTL business to TFI International, now TForce Freight.
- TForce covers all 50 states, Canada, and 600+ points in Mexico.
- TForce lists more than 13,000 one- and two-day lanes in its network.
- Compare TForce on your own lanes against other national LTL carriers.

UPS LTL freight is now run by TForce Freight, the less-than-truckload carrier formerly known as UPS Freight. UPS sold the business to TFI International in 2021, and TForce kept the legacy network, which handles regional, interregional, and long-haul LTL across the US, Canada, and Mexico. The UPS name still appears in searches and older routing guides, so many shippers still call the service UPS LTL.

For shippers, the practical questions are coverage, pricing, transit times, and how TForce compares with other national carriers. Its online tools for shipping, tracking, and billing add visibility and control on routes that cross all three countries.

This review covers TForce Freight's network and service options, what to weigh on pricing and transit, and how it stacks up against other national LTL carriers, so you can weigh [UPS LTL and other LTL shipping options](https://lp.loadsmart.com/ltl-less-than-truckload-from-loadsmart) on the lanes you ship most.

[![ShipperGuide Instant Rates](https://blog.loadsmart.com/hs-fs/hubfs/shipperguide-blog-cta%20(2).webp?width=1200&height=401&name=shipperguide-blog-cta%20(2).webp)](https://rates.shipperguide.com/?utm_source=loadsmart&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=ltl-freight-loadsmart-shipperguide-q4-26&utm_content=ups-ltl)

## **What LTL Services Does UPS Offer Through TForce Freight?**

UPS LTL services now come from TForce Freight, which offers standard regional, interregional, and long-haul LTL, a guaranteed day-definite option, and expedited specialized solutions, according to the [TForce Freight fact sheet](https://tforcefreight.com/ltl/apps/FactSheet). Shippers can quote, ship, and track all of these from a single pickup.

TFI International [completed its acquisition of UPS Freight](https://www.ttnews.com/articles/tfi-international-completes-ups-freight-acquisition) on April 30, 2021, and the LTL business now operates under the TForce Freight name. TForce lists more than 13,000 one- and two-day lanes. Cross-border service options take three to four days, and online tools for shipping, tracking, and billing support visibility and control.

### Network Coverage

TForce Freight's terminals give it national reach, from major US cities to remote areas, along with cross-border freight to Canada and Mexico. Its coverage includes:

- All 50 US states and all of Canada
- More than 600 points in Mexico, including all major cities
- Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and Guam

TForce Freight runs 178-plus North American facilities. For freight procurement teams in retail, manufacturing, e-commerce, and CPG, that footprint means more flexible pickups when LTL is part of the transportation strategy.

### Service Options

Multiple-package shipments weighing 151 to 500 pounds can move through the UPS Ground network under [UPS Ground with Freight Pricing](https://tforcefreight.com/ltl/apps/UPSGroundWithFreightPricing), and TForce lets shippers compare those rates side by side with its LTL rates before booking.

For time-sensitive freight, TForce Freight LTL Guaranteed offers guaranteed day-definite delivery, which lowers the risk to delivery schedules. Cross-border shipments to Canada and Mexico include electronic customs clearance and simplified documentation, so freight doesn't need to transfer between international carriers.

## **How Do UPS LTL Pricing and Transit Times Compare?**

UPS LTL through TForce Freight is generally cost-effective, with some service trade-offs compared with premium, high-touch carriers. Like many carriers, TForce offers advanced tracking and technology integration and advertises competitive pricing terms, and it faces the same pressure as the rest of the industry to improve service performance and reduce claims.

Tracking also affects transit reliability. UPS LTL tracking adds real-time visibility and flexibility in service options, reducing delays by as much as 15%, according to UPS LTL tracking tools.

The most reliable way to judge TForce on price is to compare [LTL freight quotes](https://rates.shipperguide.com/?utm_source=loadsmart&utm_medium=cta&utm_campaign=ltl-freight-loadsmart-shipperguide-q4-26&utm_content=ups-ltl) for your actual lanes, freight class, and accessorials, since published averages rarely match a specific freight profile.

Our guide to [LTL freight rates](https://blog.loadsmart.com/ltl-freight-rates) explains the factors that drive those prices, from density and class to fuel surcharges.

## **How Does UPS LTL Compare With Other National Carriers?**

TForce Freight is a mid-tier national carrier that generally costs less than premium carriers such as Old Dominion, with less lane density and volume efficiency than the largest networks. Its place within the UPS ecosystem supports tech-integrated, cross-border service.

The main national comparison is FedEx Freight, which ranks first on the [Transport Topics 2026 list of top LTL carriers](https://www.ttnews.com/for-hire/ltl/2026) by revenue. TFI International, TForce Freight's parent, ranks eighth. TForce's reach and cost efficiency often give UPS LTL rates an advantage over larger, more expensive legacy carriers, which charge higher rates on the strength of long records of high-performance service.

For a side-by-side look at other national and regional options, see our guide to [LTL freight companies](https://blog.loadsmart.com/ltl-freight-companies).

If most of your freight moves in the Southeast, our [Averitt LTL review](https://blog.loadsmart.com/averitt-ltl) covers a regional carrier with a dense network there.

## **Choosing Where UPS LTL Fits in Your Carrier Mix**

You don't need to drop existing carrier relationships to add UPS LTL by TForce. The decision comes down to how its coverage, transit times, and pricing perform on your lanes against the carriers you already use.

Loadsmart's LTL service for Enterprise Shippers lets teams instantly quote and book LTL shipments, with Standard LTL, Volume LTL, and Partial Truckload rates in one quote flow and collaborative partnerships with over 25 national and regional providers. A dedicated account manager supports each shipment from quoting to settlement.

## **Frequently Asked Questions**

### Does UPS Offer LTL Freight Services?

UPS LTL freight services are now provided by TForce Freight, which UPS sold to TFI International in 2021. UPS Ground with Freight Pricing is also available for multiple-package shipments of 151 to 500 pounds that move through the UPS Ground network.

### How Do I Track UPS LTL Shipments?

Track UPS LTL shipments by entering the PRO number on the TForce Freight website, which shows checkpoint-level status from pickup to delivery. A TMS that pulls carrier tracking data lets you follow TForce shipments alongside the rest of your LTL, truckload, and parcel freight in one view.

TForce Freight generally prices UPS LTL shipments in line with national carrier averages and below premium carriers such as Old Dominion. Your actual rate depends on lane, freight class, weight, and accessorials, so compare quotes on your own lanes.
