[QUOTE="finaddict, post: 268905, member: 6415"] TieGuy gave a direct answer to the question and I'll try to color it a little. Imagine a wagon wheel with the large outer wheel, spokes and the Hub. Along the outer wheel would be the outlying centers and the spokes the route to the hub. The Hub is easiest to pucture as your own. Feeders move or feed freight from outlying centers, transfer points or other hubs to your hub, the center (axle point). From there they may be loaded for delivery or sorted for movement back out (spoke) to another hub for delivery or transfer to yet another hub. The number of hub transfers is dependent upon the pickup and destination of the package. A Burtonsville, MD area pickup (a hub) would only move once for a delivery to VA Beach, VA (a center). That same Burtonsville, MD pkg going to Jacksonville, FL would move twice. It would leave Burt, fed to Richmond, sorted or just bypassed on to JacFL. Clear as Mud right? [/QUOTE]
