Worldport is the largest and Cach is in second place. This is third largest in size. It's built next to a small airport and they are building logistics warehouses all around it.

I have to admit--the last thing when I was working that I would ever consider doing on a Saturday would be tour a UPS building. I stayed as far away from anything UPS as I could get. In my 30 years I never visited the bigger buildings in Minneapolis. I guess ONE time on a Saturday I did attend my induction into the Circle of Honor club in Mpls (it wasn't at a UPS building) but I really only went for the free meal and booze.
I looked for the break room, but I got tired walking around and I couldn't find it. They had most of the inside fenced off, I went through a side door and gave myself a private tour. They did have an ice cooler and a couple of vending machines!

From what you are saying it sounds amazing. I would not want to work there though. To big.

From what he is saying I don't think many people would. I hope they start paying the help as soon as they walk through the door. It looks like it could take you 10-15 minutes to walk to your work station.

Just admit it--you went to get a free UPS cozy

Imagine that---a UPS building that isn't well thought out
I doubt that. The middle of the building where the offices are is three stories tall and the top floor looks like an airport control tower with all the monitors. I was riding the elevator to see that and a woman got on that was actually coming in to work in the office. She was panting and exhausted just from walking from her car.

That bridge is in the front by the feeder gates? I was curious what that was when I drove under it.
I also thought there was more parking on both ends...that must have been for construction workers.

How do they open these and be properly staffed? I feel like it would take hundreds of new hires , we can’t even train the guys we have here.

The camera thing is true. When they automated our building they put cameras everywhere.
That bridge is on the left side next to the feeder gates and left corner of the employee parking lot. The employee parking is on the left and trailer yard is to the right. I didn't see much of the backside of the building, I just walked to the back where the Air Unload docks were. I didn't see the shop. Maybe 75 plus bulk trains. It would have been smarter to put the bridge in the right corner of the employee lot and enter the building closer to the middle to cut down on walking. I would have put in walking ramps instead of all those stairs. Maybe an underground pedestrian tunnel under the yard instead. Poor design in my opinion.

They’re bringing in the “Hard place”’ on Monday and putting it on the opposite side. Everyone working there will be between a rock and a hard place.
This will take three thousand to run and they are having problems with finding people to staff it. I talked to an HR guy today and he was very concerned about the quality he is hiring. UPS has been running ads on local radio stations for months now. We had several job fairs around Atlanta yesterday just to hire for Peak. Some idiot was parked in my parking spot when I got to work yesterday.

Take a good look. That will be the cleanest building and the shiniest equipment that place will ever see, well, unless Abney comes back again.
