[QUOTE="ThePackageDeli, post: 4276039, member: 77514"] The future seems clear. As shipping volume continues to increase worldwide, automation will allow UPS to expand, process way more volume, and meet the growing demands of the world economy. [I][URL='https://www.businessinsider.com/ups-packages-robots-sort-2019-1/']Automated facilities[/URL][/I] and [I][URL='https://www.engadget.com/2019/08/15/ups-testing-self-driving-trucks-arizona/']short run feeder routes [/URL][/I]are going to eliminate MANY inside jobs and MANY driving jobs BUT simultaneously create a LOT of last-mile delivery positions. My prediction for the future: UPS will force part-timers to get DOT certified and last-mile trained. [/QUOTE]
