[QUOTE="Island, post: 1288262, member: 42417"] It is my opinion that UPS should build one or two more megahubs in the US. Not necessarily the size of Worldport but definitely state of the art. Cutting edge tech. It is clear that the company doesn't think the money requirement to maintain Worldport's equipment is worth what they're getting out of it but my mind says that the profit involved should make the maintenance bill look like fast food change. Of course we know management, they'll refuse to pay for a repair until it kills half a dozen people as it falls apart. Anyway my point being that our volume is growing, our contracts with major shippers such as Amazon are not necessarily moving the volume in a manner condusive to sorting it all in Kentucky. If Amazon is shipping 100,000 pieces in Dallas to California, it is silly to fly that many planes to Worldport in between. [/QUOTE]
