How Big (or small) is your center

[22.4 driver]

You guys got small ass centers except me ten belts !

 

[ManInBrown]

When I was in Package, center had 80 drivers. Feeders we have 345

 

[EverybodyLovesMike]

About 8 inches

Mine is 4, I'm jealous

 

[walk the jewels]

1 belt

Last I checked we had about 1250 employees. 120 overhead doors. 6 outbound air belts. 4 inbound air belts. Our building doesnt have ground routes anymore, only run EAM and OCA. We get about 30-40 or so inbound flights a day. And lots of feeders coming and going.

25 PD’s, 100 unload doors, 4 package centers with 300+ total drivers, 500 feeder drivers and counting.

 

[specter208]

Not sure how many centers. We have about 100 routes and deliver to 6 cities.

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

Small. One belt. 4 load doors/1 unload door. 20 pkg routes. 8 feeder drivers. Center manager is in another building 50 miles away. 1 On car. More pt sups than part-timers lol

Eight feeder drivers? Wow...

 

[Method Mensch]

At mine in ohio we have one belt and around 65-70 employees including drivers, mgmt, reload and preload

It's not the size of the boat, it's the motion in the ocean.

Franklin Park has Integrad. What's that mean?

Used to have 4 centers now just 3 as two other hubs have opened up near us. 90 plus routes alone in my center. Big hub!

Yep. I got 32 years in and just number 3 lol. I'm not leaving until I'm number 1 for one bid. Used to work at a larger center but this one opened about 25 years ago and I followed the work.

When I worked: 22-23 drivers ------1 and half 53 footers for the average daily load.

Now: 38 drivers 9-10 of the smaller trailers a day I'm told.

We had 53 footers back then?

Maybe 48 ft drop frame. When was the last time you saw one of those on the road?

Must have been 48 drop frames. I remember getting one of those heavy plywood doors on my head a few times and having to lift all the crap that was packed under the rollers up out of your power zone. Have i told you lately how tough we had it?

Our hub was built 1978-1979.
They doubled the hub size, but not the yard size, around 1987-88.
Back then we had 40 foot drop frames and 26 foot (yes, 26 foot) drop frames.
As time went by the trailers got bigger but the yard didn't.
It's a 3 ring circus now.

I've never seen a 48 foot drop frame.

 

[Fido]

2 belts 65-70 rcpd’s

I haven’t seen a drop frame of any length in over a decade, those things went the way of the dodo. They were a rolling safe work methods nightmare whether you were loading the belly out of your power zone or loading on top of the flaps having to bend all the way over to the floor for every box. Don’t even get me started on how many times I’ve had my head or fingers slammed by those damn flaps.
