UPS Prepares For Spike In Package Volume For Holidays, But Says Supply Chain Issues Aren’t Going Away - CBS Chicago

Shipping companies expect a record surge this holiday season — even bigger than last year.

So how will the recent supply chain struggles affect that spike? CBS 2’s Tim McNicholas went to one of the largest UPS facilities in the country in a search for answers to that question.

The UPS warehouse in Hodgkins might be called the package sorting superhighway.

“We got about 65 miles of belts and shoots and rollers here,” said UPS Human Resources Director Rommel Carlson.

Carlson explains that is how 1.8 million packages zip through the Hodgkins warehouse per day. Over the holiday season, that number will jump to more than 3 million per day.

Everyone’s replaceable. UPS can roll out roadie at anytime. Use the vax’d drivers for the bulk and biz stops.
