[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2621227, member: 58386"] This morning UPS released it's last quarter results. Missed on both earnings and revenue. UPS CEO Richard Peretz was on CNBC this AM and talked about their plans to eliminate line sort package handlers at hubs. When a box comes off a trailer the bar code scan will immediately send it to the trailer going to the box's next destination. The only human handling will be the guys in the trailers and they are experimenting with robots in a effort to eliminate them as well. If successful thousands of package handlers will be eliminated. The only people who will remain are the ones with enough seniority and it might take a lot of that as well as the skills needed to operate, maintain and repair the new technology. If it works you'll have a handful of guys in the control room similar to power plants plus a few on the floor maintaining the equipment. [/QUOTE]
