[QUOTE="Tanktoptony, post: 5674921, member: 87902"] There is a new hub they opened in Oregon that is the most automated in our region and they too had to hire more staff because of the number people needed to tend the belts. It doesn’t work if they jam and people break those jams. Tacoma is to my knowledge the only regional hub that’s mostly automated in the seattle area and with volume lighter they don’t need another night sort in Redmond. Assuming volume picks back up the sort will restart. There is a smaller automated building we have in Portland that does this same thing. It was mostly shut down for night sort due to staffing issues and volume would be taken Swan island instead but I think this more volume fluctuation than anything. Tacoma has been open a few years now and if automation was the reason Redmond night sort stopped it would have happened years ago. [/QUOTE]
