What does it take to deliver millions of packages and documents every day right in time? You need a Giant Hub: UPS Worldport in Louisville is a technological marvel. It is the largest automated package handling facility in the world, and the center point of UPS’s worldwide air network. More than 300 flights arrive and depart daily and the hub with its 250 kilometers conveyors has a troughput of 500.000 packages per hour. Roughly two million packages a day increasing to more than four million during the peak season.
10 pm. The night rush hour begins. When frontline supervisor Tyler Sawvell and his crew unload and load the aircrafts on the ground – guys like Terry Rigdon in the general operation center control every flight activity of the cargoplanes.
The world’s leading logistics group UPS relys on their one airline. With its 244 aircrafts, UPS Airlines is one of the biggest worldwide. Terry Rigdon’s goal is to get every aircraft with its cargo to their right destination – on schedule. But in this night, bad weather causes a lot of trouble and delays for the whole crew at Worldport. Due to thunderstorms the whole area have been put on an operations ban for 30 minutes. That means the outbound crew are not alowed to work. They can not unload any airplane. So they can’t feed the hub.
Are they able to recover lost time to get a very special package with a gastank from triumph motorcycle to his customer in Seattle overnight?

My dad was a dispatcher for UPS airlines. Grew up watching these planes every day!

I admit that some people will find this boring but I find it fascinating because for the short time I worked as parcel courier it always amazes me that some customers either didn’t know or cared about anything else other than where’s my parcel and in case you’re wondering I did have some really irate and in a few cases violent people, thankfully they were few and far in between. My best customer was a gentleman who ran a local bamboo flooring company and it always amazed me of his kindness and caring attitude, anyhoo thank you for making this video. 🙏

As a former UPS'er at world port I will say, some people will never know what really goes on before that package shows up on your doorstep.

Never realized how much of a factor weather would play in this company. It seems obvious enough, but not as much as I thought. Great video.

I work construction and we’re building a 747 maintenance hanger right beside the runway, at about 8:00ish am the UPS jets start landing and they are literally bumping buts, one right after another until about 10:00am THEN about 2:00pm they start taking off and it’s the same way one after another, it seems so efficient its amazing to watch

These UPS planes fly right over my house on their approach to Worldport every day & night. Although I'm afraid of flying commercial jets, I wouldn't hesitate to get on a UPS Cargo plane & fly anywhere in the World.

I worked for UPS in Air Operations for 23 years. My blood was BROWN Loved it until a lateral hub operations transfer in year 17 and absolutely hated the last 6 years! The company has changed and no longer takes care of its management employees! Sad but true!
-
Want to thank the documentary makers, and all those hard working folks who gets those packages to us. Much love and respect to all.
