[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 1013671, member: 18471"] The geek who programmed it! When you see the Chiquta banana truck outside your hub............. On a more serious note I heard they were going to start rolling in an automated sorting system, Denver airport has one that uses lasers to read the bar codes on luggage tags. When they first used the system when the airport was new it had all kinds of bugs. Apparently the bugs have been worked out and it's used as a "Modern Marvels" example. I believe they already use something similar in Louisville. When I heard they were going to start this type of system the reason was that each time a package is touched in the hub it costs $.13 up from $.06. Also unless the programming geek screws up, there should be literally no missorts. Also no breaks, sick time, vacations, etc, etc. I don't know who the managers will yell at though. There also gearing up for an automated dispatching system for feeders, although that's not supposed to start until after peak. In the larger hubs the IVIS will have all the incoming and outbound load information, (doors, trailer #'s,etc) without picking up the phone. Welcome to the future. [/QUOTE]
