[QUOTE="hoser, post: 153942, member: 6357"] Isn't it already integrated into the shipping label? The barcodes have the service level in it, and the 2d barcodes have lots more information, including zip code. Automatically sort xxxx1-xxxx4 to one area, xxxx5-xxxx9 to another. Then either manually or automatically sort packages to xxxx1, xxxx2, xxxx3, xxxx4. Then within those 4 sorts, do a micro-sort. FedEx had the same system, and the people who preloaded the trailers were the couriers themselves. I would go on routes into areas I've never been to in my life, and I was able to load up trucks without issues. And then at night, when sorting outbound, we'd do the same thing. We had routing codes, too, which reduces mis-sorts dramatically. If you mis-sorted something, you'd hear about it. Something that doesn't happen here. This is exactly what the PAS system does too, but the micro-sort is done by a computer. Which is just stupid. Way too high probability for errors. You can't under-estimate human judgement. Like DEN realising that gas powered baggage carts operated by humans are even more efficent than baggage trains that can go 80mph, UPS will soon realise that topographical knowledge and intuition are something a computer will never have.
