UPS primarily uses a fleet of distinctive brown delivery trucks known as package cars, which are designed for efficiency and easy access to packages. They also operate larger vehicles for freight and logistics, including tractor-trailers for long-haul transport. Additionally, UPS is increasingly incorporating alternative fuel and electric vehicles to enhance sustainability in their operations.

UPS (brown trucks) is completely separate from USPS.
Depends on which UPS trucks you're referring to. For the tractor-trailers, they use a mix of Freightliner, Mack, Volvo, and Sterling trucks. Those come both from vehicles ordered for UPS, and vehicles acquired when they bought out Overnite. The delivery vans have bodies made by Utilimaster, and I believe they're built on chassis from Freightliner Custom Chassis. They also run a number of Freightliner/Dodge/Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans and Ford F350 box trucks.
Brown, in the USA.
Freight trucks are 13'6". The delivery trucks are slightly shorter at around 11' or so.
no only weekdays.
United Parcel Service of America is known for their brown trucks. To be more specific the color of these trucks is Pullman Brown. These trucks are known internally as package cars and are nicknamed "brown". In addition to the brown trucks UPS also operates an airline.
Old UPS trucks are typically retired from service after several years of use due to wear and tear, maintenance costs, or updates in fleet requirements. Many of these vehicles are sold at auction, repurposed, or recycled for parts. Some are converted for alternative uses, such as food trucks or mobile shops, while others may be donated to non-profit organizations. UPS also focuses on sustainability, so many retired trucks are recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.
