[1] Originally known as the American Messenger Company specializing in telegraphs, UPS has expanded to become a Fortune 500 company [6] and one of the world's largest shipping couriers.
Many shipping services, especially air carriers, use dimensional weight for calculating the price, which takes into account both weight and volume of the cargo. For example, bulk coal long-distance rates in America are approximately 1 cent/ton-mile. [2] So a 100 car train, each carrying 100 tons, over a distance of 1000 miles, would cost $100,000.
