[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 55114"] Plisken: The "human readable" code, that you talk about is officially called the UPS Routing Code (URC). The first four numbers on the code is the number of the building where the package is supposed to be delivered. In UPS, it generally matches to a portion of the ZIP code, but its really the building number. Some URC's have an additional number after the first 4 which indicate a location within that destination building. The URC is mostly used for a loader who has to load a trailer for that center. Rather than having to remember 5 digit zip splits, they can use the URC to determine whether the package goes in the trailer or not. In general, sorters do not get a benefit for using the URC, because like you said, you already have to memorize zip codes. Loaders loading hub destinations, generally don't use it either, since the zip splits are not too bad. Again, its for loaders loading trailers where they have to remember many 5 digit splits.... Does that help? P-Man [/QUOTE]
