[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 314362, member: 9789"] CACH - Chicago Area Consolidated Hub is by far the largest hub. It is a magnificent building to see. It is 3.5 miles to walk around the outside. It is a district all by itself. There is an entire Senior Staff that reports to the District Mgr. Each operation shift is run by a Division Mgr and each part of the operation (unload-small sort-load-feeder-contol room) is run by a manager. There are over 100 mule shifters and we unload & load the rail cars straight off the trains which pull right into the UPS yard. If there is a jam on a belt or a breakdown - the packages are re-routed electronically to other belts that are designed to bypass the breakdown or jam. College classes are offered on property to keep the retention up. SDF is the largest air hub. Ontario California has 8 sorts -24 hours a day - 2 to 3 sorts running at the same time air - ground and international as well as a freight operation all on the same property. This does not count the Ramp operation which loads/unloads the planes. There are 16 to 17 PDs and 15 different run out belts that can be duel utilized for unloading or loading any type of UPS ULD - cans - package cars - feeders - bob tails - battleships. Each belt can be sent to a sort isle or reversed for load independently of any other belt. There are 3 operational division managers during peak AM and PM operations I don't know for sure but I think Ontario ranks behind SDF in size. Southeast Cal is the third largest district in the country due to Ontario and Grande Vista hubs. Grande Vista feeds the preloads for all 3 Districts in Southern California. [/QUOTE]
