[QUOTE="freeloader, post: 314116, member: 12163"] Like I said, Hialeah (hub for South Florida district) is under-utilized. There are lots of PD's (11) with few doors per PD (approx 9). Some of the sorts use more PD's than others and some PD's are not used at all. Your hub's 7 PD's spread amongst 85 doors is about 12 doors per PD. Do the PD's use every single door? Another interesting note, some hubs were pre-designed to allow expansion up to 16 PD's (Hialeah was one of them but that will never happen). You can see this in the area around the sort aisles. There is hardware in place that looks like conveyors but they go nowhere and there is no conveyor belt on them. Regarding Hialeah, it was build in 1986 and sits right next to ABC Distributors. At that time ABC Distributors was a huge multi-million dollar account that added 10k - 20k of volume daily to the Hialeah hub. A few years ago, the account was lost and Hialeah became the under-utilized hub that it is today. [/QUOTE]
