Just curious if anyone on here has some insight on how much volume dropped in their center when amazon opened a distribution center in their area? The distribution center is supposed to open in about a year.
I agree that this is an accurate number.bout tree fitty
And the starting pay is more...Got an Amazon distribution centre opening up literally right next to my hub.
Perhaps Amazon’s bean counters are smart enough to realize that some of UPSs hubs are in excellent spots geographically and logistically and simply didn’t have a problem with parking theirs nearby?UPS is in bed with Amazon 100%. They’re not going to let everyone know the details but they are. The new Hub they opened in Bethlehem is 300 yards away from a huge Amazon distribution center. Word is that it’s no coincidence. The Amazon building was there first, and then about a year later the UPS building was finished.
Then why would they be connected with secret tunnels?Perhaps Amazon’s bean counters are smart enough to realize that some of UPSs hubs are in excellent spots geographically and logistically and simply didn’t have a problem with parking theirs nearby?
I don’t but I do wish we were properly staffed.I wish our volume would drop

Read it again. The Amazon building was there first. Then the UPS building went up.Perhaps Amazon’s bean counters are smart enough to realize that some of UPSs hubs are in excellent spots geographically and logistically and simply didn’t have a problem with parking theirs nearby?
Little to do with UPS (or FedEx). They put them in same areas for the same reasons.The question still stands. Amazon is usually placing their buildings nearby ours. But now it looks like the tables have started to turn. UPS is having to follow suit now instead of the other way around.
Which is precisely my point. But years ago, based on the location of many of the older facilities, those decisions were more about availability than geography.Little to do with UPS (or FedEx). They put them in same areas for the same reasons.
