[QUOTE="freeloader, post: 433833, member: 12163"] Hialeah is an "end of the line" hub since the only direction packages can flow is north (other centrally located hubs have package flow in all directions). I worked in that building a few years ago and the only sort that was at capacity was the preload. The Twi sort squeaked about about 50k and the Night sort volume was around 80k or 90k. There were some local sorts in the district that ran the almost same volume as the HIA Twi sort. Plus, many of the buildings in the South Florida get the majority of their inbound volume from Jax and Orlando and send their outbounds to Jax and Orlando as well. The only volume that flows through Hialeah is volume that stays in the district. So yes, it is a very under-utilized hub and if there were to be any hub consolidations, my money would be on Hialeah getting dissolved. [/QUOTE]
