    The supply chain will not allow that to happen. The facilities that build UPS trucks already have production schedules that are full into 2024.

    It’s going to be a big effort just to meet the January 1st deadline that the contract currently sets out.

      As far as I can tell, it’s vehicles purchased after 1/1/24. They can purchase them for however long in advance as they’d like.

        That’s not how anything works. If the teamsters agreed to a contract that can be twisted out of that easily then they deserve it.

          You don’t think it’s common for things like bulk vehicle purchases to be decided years in advance?
