Sort of their > answer to UPS. RPS has been around for years. We used them for "truck freight", i.e., things that were too big for UPS when we needed to ship large heavy (refrigerator sized) things when I did electronics more. They got into more counter service starting 6-7 years ago, and then were acquired by FedEx. My dates may be wrong, but that's the gist of it. Incidentally, my MO (the usual M.O.?!) came by a truck labelled FedEx Ground. I bet that was an RPS truck that had been repainted.
