[QUOTE="PinkbluebeltsplitMCI, post: 2014193, member: 60742"] There are two types of sorting at Worldport. Conventional and automated. Yes, the majority of Worldport is now automated, but there are still a few buildings from the hub's original structure that still operate and are not automated. Every individual package has to be sorted by hand and scanned manually in these buildings. The term "Grade Lane" comes from Worldport's street address 911 Grade Lane. It's a term simply used to distinguish a group of buildings from the others within the air park. These old buildings are the closest to the road known as Grade Lane. I've attached a picture of Louisville International with a full view of Worldport. It is circled on the right and under the letters "UPS" are the group of buildings known as Grade Lane. The rest of the complex to the left is where the automation is. The square building with other buildings branching off of it is the core. This is where packages are sorted after being unloaded. The buildings that branch off the core are called wings and this is where the aircraft are unloaded and loaded. Hope this helps. In case you're curious, The building in the bottom right corner of the UPS circle is the World Freight Facility and this is where the large freight is handled [/QUOTE]
