[QUOTE="HubSnakeWrangler, post: 5944215, member: 80493"] My hub went automated and expanded a few years ago. Sort positions were eliminated but they've hired aggressively since. Usually 2 per trailer unloading/loading and the irreg belts still need some form of human splitting. They use revenue audit labels to determine which belt an irreg goes. Hub looks like a big H and belt tenders are used at choke points to clear jams and take irregs out of the system. Also, many combo jobs created out of pallet dock/trailer sweep positions. The 2 small sorts also need more baggers and inducters. Not to mention the many people needed to correct or replace bad labels the system can't read. These are just the primary unload/load positions. The metro unload just adds to the volume of the 3 shifts in ground building. It's an air gateway with seperate ground/air buildings. I'm not sure how many jobs were consolidated into our buildings though. So, yes there are still "easy" positions available but a lot more volume to process. [/QUOTE]
