You may want to set up a Voice Gateway and forward 800 number to a service other then Google Voice due to the fact it sometimes has problems with 800 numbers due to early media. There are a lot of suggestions on what services to use for termination.
I think you are saying that there is a problem dialing 800 numbers on GV. That sounds surprising.
But setting up a Voice Gateway sounds difficult and confusing. I think I am not feeling sharp tonight.

That was very informative. When I tried dialing that UPS Freight number via GV, the ringback signal in the earpiece continued to indicate that the call had not answered. It does seem odd to have such calls. It makes me wonder if non-800 calls couldn't have the same behavior.
Thanks.

Bingo!
GV does not handle calls like a normal phone company (because it isn't one).
Generally, if a call is not answered in the 'normal' way, GV will continue to play ring tone.
That also means you may not hear Busy Tone or Number Not in Service Announcements.
Try this Not in Service number 604 261 9287
Some VoIP providers will send 'call cannot be completed as dialed' recording.
