[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]UPS is helping out the little guy this holiday season: It’s forging a new partnership with American Express to provide small and medium-sized businesses with discounted shipping rates through the beginning of next year.<\/p>\n

It’s no secret that many logistics businesses are hurting right now. Between the persistent trucker shortage and the complicated tariff situation, many companies are struggling to stay afloat to see how it all shakes out. Even UPS itself has seen significant layoffs<\/strong><\/a> over the last few months.<\/p>\n

That could be why they’re taking a big swing to attract small and medium-sized businesses to their operation, with some hearty discounts that could actually make a difference for many companies in 2025.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
