All my customers,co-workers,office people including my T.M. can't tell me what the small letters (sm) stands for after the UPS Freight monogram on the right side of our shirts.
I know that all the UPS brands I've ever seen anywhere has small big cap.letters (TM) after their brand.
That means Trade Mark.
I know that a trade mark is on file, registered,and protected by the federal government,that if anyone else trys to use anything like it they will be in some real serious trouble,and will cost them some mega bucks to clear up their error.

But these letters on our shirts know one seems to have an answer for.

May the Lord direct your path it works for me.

Wasnt deleted, T251. If you will notice, mine from last night were gone too.

We lost a few when Jeff was switching over to the new server. We were on about the time that was happening.
 
Thanks alot for all your contributions to answer my question.
At least I have something to share with whoever asks me about the (sm).
Everyone that I discussed this with that had no clue told me to get back to them when I found out.
Although there where some real clever guesses,I'm going to go with MikeO1,&CF's posts.
Thanks again for all your help.

May the Lord direct your path it works for me.
