On Saturday, May 14, the National Association of Letter Carriers will once again collect bags of donated food along their mail routes. The food is then delivered to local pantries and meal programs. Stamp Out Hunger is the largest single day food drive in the nation, running for 19 years and counting!

Simply leave any non-perishable food products at your mailbox and your letter carrier will pickup and delivery to your local food bank or pantry.

NRGShip Pro was recently updated to include support for UPS Import Control. With UPS Import Control you can easily create shipping labels which can be provided to your supplier for shipment to your or another third-party. By creating the inbound label yourself,  you have full visibility to the shipments progress.

From the International Forms tab you can easily simply check a box and choose a label type to create your inbound labels.

The Washingtonian recently got a glimpse inside UPS’s driver training facility, Integrad, in Landover, MD. While UPS is shipping company, they excel in creating best practices for repetitive tasks. UPS’s “340 Methods” tell drivers the most efficient way to do just about anything, such as buckling your seat belt with your left hand while starting the ignition with your right or beeping your horn every three seconds when backing up for safety.
