[QUOTE="blue efficacy, post: 512172, member: 6435"] Not all hubs have night sorts. They generally all have twilight sorts. But not all have night sorts. Minnesota has 3 hubs. MGRMN, MINMN, and STPMN. MGRMN 5599 only has twilight and preload. It is automated. MINMN 5549 has a preload, twilight and night sort. Twilight processes locally originated volume, as well as loads from MT ND and sometimes other northwest locales with volume headed east. Night sort processes MN, ND, SD and MT volume ONLY. Many of the loads are only MN. STPMN 5519 has preload, twlight, and night sort also. Twilight, same story as MINMN as far as I know. Night, they process a lot of stuff. Mainly loads built from CENTERS in MN, western WI and northern IA. They will also take loads from MINMN Night. So, knowing all of this, twilights are primarily used for sorting loads of local origin, as well as pickups from that building's package cars. Night sorts, on the other hand, serve different purposes. Due to this, a night sort is not needed for every hub like a Twi is. All a center does is Preload, and local sort which builds trailers that go to nearby hubs to be distributed to other hubs across the US. [/QUOTE]
