Automated Hubs

[UPSJUNKIE]

On the earnings call this morning, did anyone else hear the comment about automating hubs? Specifically, they said that all "Tier 1 Hubs" would be automated within 5 years. Does that mean just sorting, like at CACH? Or does it include the load and unload? Just curious. This comment received absolutely no attention from the financial analysts on the call. The furthest they look ahead is the next quarter.

He had a mouth on him too. At least it's all beeps though.

I like storm troopers better. All the same. Do what they're told, bow down to the empire. They work with my ego much better.

True, but all bets are off if they turn on you.

Got a long way to go. Because of how time sensitive our network is not only will a robot have to do the task but do it in a timely manner.
