[QUOTE="Anonymous GearJammer, post: 292402"] Believe our districts oldest hub is 44+ years old. Newest, approx. 2001 and already over design capacity, along with the other two hubs it was built to help relieve. Considering we are in the top ten for shipping volume in the nation, pretty sad, they did not even include us in the Fast Lanes initiative. Even though Fed-Ex keeps taking volume due to their far superior time in transit, They probably don't care since facilities are already over design capacity anyways. Notice I state design capacity because you can always increase capacity potential by adding more workers, just that once design capacity is exceeded productivity per each added worker decreases as the volume exceeds the design capacity. Plus several other things increase with volume such as damages, service failures, and injuries. Remember that one of utmost important things to Jim Casey was the well being of the employees too, oh how things change when companies go public. [/QUOTE]
