[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1183525, member: 43436"] Only one facility serves the entire Grand Rapids area. Several years back, it was featured on UPSers as UPS's most modern facility / a testbed for future facilities, with "robots" performing much of the work. Thus, it likely has considerably less PTers than most comparable UPS facilities. OTOH, Grand Rapids serves as an alternate hub to those in the Chicago area in transitioning packages from the Upper Midwest to the Lower Midwest so it probably has a fair number of PTers working in it. Given the local unemployment rate, I'd be skeptical of 4.5-5 year waits. Useless triva... UPS.com long ago switched to displaying actual cities (Wyoming, MI over Grand Rapids, MI; Hodgkins, IL over CACH) but I noticed that internally, Grand Rapids is being "re-branded" as Wyoming. The forever bags, load charts, misload charts, etc. now read Wyoming instead of Grand Rapids. [/QUOTE]
