Does anyone have experience with UPS Freight LTL?
Tracking Of Shipments ( TForce, XPO Freight, Fedex, UPS)
Planning to move with UPS Ground/Freight. I have some questions....
How does a ground package make it across the country?
How do I track UPS Freight shipments?
You can track freight by using any of the following:
- UPS Tracking page for shipments still handled by UPS
- TForce Freight tracking portal for former UPS Freight shipments
- Ship24 to track across both UPS and TForce Freight, especially if the shipment changes carriers during transit
To get started, you’ll need one of the following:
- PRO number
- Bill of Lading (BOL)
- Shipment reference number
Just enter it into the tracking tool of your choice to see the latest updates.
Freight tracking on Ship24
Ship24 offers multi-carrier freight tracking. If your cargo moves between carriers, you can use Ship24 to keep everything in one place.
To track on Ship24:
- Go to the Ship24 tracking page
- Enter your freight tracking number or BOL
- View the current status and history of your shipment
This is especially helpful when your freight transitions from UPS to another service like TForce or a regional carrier.
Is it possible to track a package if I have lost my UPS Freight tracking number?
