That is an interesting link. Now I can figure out some of the abbreviations and SLIC numbers people use. They had the city spelled wrong where I work though.

Not all of those are actual hubs,for example in Mass,there are only 2 hubs
WORMA {worcester ma actual bldng is in Shrewsbury,} Chema Chelmsford Mass....
A building is ID'd by the first 3 letters of the city and the state abbreviation to follow it.So Lynnfield Mass blg would be LYNMA
Yarmouth Ma would be YARMA Portland Maine PORME etc.. etc....

covemaster;

I'd have to agree....seems there are a lot of facilities listed there where it would be a bit of a stretch to actually call them a "hub". Although I guess if a building only processes a couple of loads that don't originate/terminate where they're being sorted, that makes it a "hub" of sorts.

Hubs are easily identified - they end with a "9".
That is why they are usually identified on internal routing labels and tags with just the first three digits.
