[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 354844, member: 2189"] I can believe the heavy flow part for sure. As we speak they are adding on to Worldport in which it will go from handling 300k per hour flow to well over 500k per hour. That number is just staggering to even think about. It would take our sort 2 to 3 weeks to handle what they will in an hour. Just unreal. When they were building Worldport (called Hub 2K then) the PE website off the main UPS internal website had some really neat videos of the technology they were installing but I don't think they are there anymore. BTW: FedEx Ground is building a lot of their new infastructure using some automated technology so as our hubs age more and more that are labor intensive, FedEx although still needing some manning will gain some competitive edge in that part of the whole process. UPS IMO will face a day ahead where a huge amount of money will be needed to redirect towards it's own hub infastructure and what will it do when that time comes? That will be the day that Jim Kelly will be cursed and that being private is where this company should have stayed. But that's JMO. [/QUOTE]
