[QUOTE="air_dr, post: 768799, member: 29929"] I sense UPS has eliminated night or even twilight sorts at quite a few hubs, all in an effort to save money, of course. But I really wonder: Is it helping the bottom line? I am thinking of especially of the twilight sorts. Hubs that are reduced to a preload/reload operation still have a fair amount of employees and activity going on during twilight. Its not like the lights can be turned out and the doors locked. Now the work coming in on the feeders needs to be done somewhere. Wouldn't it almost always be most cost effective to do it at the nearest open center that has available capacity? With the changes that have been made, the feeders are traveling further. That may require them to leave the originating businesses earlier, a possible inconvienience to major customers, and it certainly keeps drivers on the road longer, costing extra fuel, time, and ultimately money.
