UPS Freight Tracking

UPS Freight Tracking

Couriers

UPS Freight tracking helps you follow the progress of large shipments, including LTL (less-than-truckload) and TL (full truckload) cargo. It gives regular updates from pickup to delivery, so you always know where your freight is — whether it’s traveling across the country or internationally.

Originally part of UPS, the freight division was acquired by TFI International in 2021 and now operates as TForce Freight. You can still track these shipments using your PRO, BOL, or reference number.

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:

  1. Go to the Ship24 tracking page
  2. Enter your freight tracking number or BOL
  3. 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.

What are the types of UPS Freight services?

UPS offers several freight options depending on how quickly and where you need to send your goods. Below is a breakdown of the main categories.

Air Freight

Used for fast delivery across long distances. Available options include:

  • Air Freight Consolidated: Delivery in 3–5 business days
  • Air Freight Direct: Delivery in 1–3 business days
  • Premium Direct: Available in select countries for urgent shipments
  • Express Critical: Priority delivery for time-sensitive freight

Ocean Freight

Ideal for large shipments traveling overseas. This service uses container ships for bulk items such as equipment, consumer goods, and materials.

Ground Freight

Best for overland delivery across the U.S. and Canada. Often used by businesses to transport goods between warehouses, factories, and retailers.

Multimodal Freight

Combines air, sea, and land transport for a balanced approach. Helps reduce costs while meeting tight delivery timelines.

Freight consolidation and added services

Consolidation lets multiple shipments headed to the same place be combined into one. This reduces costs and improves efficiency, especially for regular business shipments.

UPS also offers:

  • Customs brokerage for international freight
  • Warehousing and distribution for longer-term storage

These options help companies handle logistics beyond just shipping.
