They are not being fined for just driving stuff around the country. They were fined for KNOWINGLY doing business with people who were shipping pharmaceuticals without proper bills of lading (which even USPS requires, and they're the big hauler in direct pharmacy to customer pharmaceutical shipments).

UPS, USPS, FEDEX and freight carriers all have a legal responsibility to conform to special standards applicable to mode of conveyance rules coming from ATA and DOT, This is just another bunch of rules coming from Food and Drug ~ little different than the mode rules, so they should be able to deal with it as well as their competitors.

As soon as some bureaucrat decides that asparagus is a drug, I guess that won't be shipped either.

My point is, why bother with the U.S. as a pickup and delivery point if the U.S. is going to be so anal about what is or isn't a drug?

Why should UPS have to care anyway? Their job is to ship parcel A to point B.

Now, the drug warriors want them to concern themselves with parcel A.

That is not their job.
