For the record and especially relevant to it technological chronology... THE DATE OF PRODUCTION/release of this documentary WAS 2007! Reposted to YT after 17 years!
Around twelve years ago, I worked on the Boeing flight line in Everett, WA. UPS had several 767-300 freighters on order at the time, so they established a mini-hub right at the facility. On delivery day, UPS put the 767s straight to work by loading them with cargo and sending them on their way.
Fun fact for people like myself who found this episode fascinating: At some point following the filming of this episode, Worldport and its surrounding facilities have since actually expanded and even built new facilities nearby. The Worldport sorting facility itself, for starters, now has five "wings" instead of three. I also read that they have expanded the UPS flight training facility in Louisville and added many more flight simulators. Furthermore, I also read blog on the UPS website just now that they are building a new hangar close to Worldport that is specifically intended for UPS aircraft. However, as that blog was written in 2022, I cannot say for sure weather construction on that hangar was already completed as of now. Regardless, I'm glad this episode is up on RUclips again. I always thought that episode was one of the most detailed episodes of UPS I've seen on any documentary series or anywhere else. Even though the facility in Louisville has grown since then, the degree of technology back when this episode was filmed is already awe inspiring.
Here is a fact about world port. If you live in Louisville and your package comes in via plane. It is unloaded then transfered to a facility near Cincinnati, just to be driven to louisville to another facility before it is delivered to your house.
I worked at a local sort in southwestern CT for awhile and if someone was next daying a package to say Philadelphia it would get driven up to Bradley, flown to World Port, back up to Philly, and delivered. Eventually they realized that was a colossal waste, Especially since our building got trucks for ground shipments from hubs in New Jersey. So packages in reasonable distance went by ground. They did need to have accounting explain that it made more sense to just truck it to some clients though because they never saw tracking go through Louisville.
@@fuzzybutkus8970wrong. That’s how they make their money that way just like a lot of companies have delivery service areas in circles and if you’re outside that circle even a quarter mile it can take more time
That facility is insane! The engineering is just unbelievable. My head almost exploded at the size and speed of the conveyor system. Or maybe I was just thinking of myself working at a place like that with never ending packages coming and going. I would end up like Newman really fast.🤪🤪
Fun Fact: WorldPort has since gotten bigger and even added new nearby facilies. For example, there are now five "wings" at the Louisville sorting facility instead of just three. I posted a more detailed comment about this just now if you're ever interested.
Just changing all the oil and tires on vehicles alone must be crazy. Taking runway vehicles offline need another vehicle to work while they are offline too. Logistics is awesome.
I would often stop near Louisville and listen on scanner while watching flightradar24. At night it's amazing how precise the whole operation. From the controllers to the pilots.
@@jason6919 I find Flightradar24 interesting. I work at an airport for passenger transfer and rely on Flightradar24 to see when passengers land. Quite useful
It's actually 20 years old I remember when MythBusters in 2005 were testing 'No left turn' with UPS delivering packages Ten years ago there were smartphones already and I doubt that UPS in 2014 used those portable computers whatever they called them
Barely noticed it until your comment. If you want to be driven insane by background music watch a dude perfect video. Any pause between them talking the music blares. You have to mute it every time they stop talking. (I just watch the entire thing on mute now.)
Although this video was made many years ago, it was interesting. No doubt some of the employees at the sorting facility have been replaced with robots by now. Hope they are doing alright. At the end, the voiceover guy said it is time for the airplane to lift off. Rockets lift off. Planes take off.
Yeah, I was picking apart where the robots would go. Like the face up small parcels in trays. Easy robot work, no vacations, no breaks, no benefits, no salary, no helping your common man have employment. Smh at the profit machine.
I worked for ups for 25 years, then took my pension and ran for the exits. I worked in the corp offices in NJ. People used to rightly panic, when the planes could not take off on time, we used to hear it was costing x amount a minute for the plan to sit on the tarmac. One late plane would back log the next plane and the next etc. Usually if the delay was not that long, the pilots could fly faster once they were in the air to make up for the delay.
@@kfl611 a late plane also meant a late end of work at the sort. We stayed around at the local and if Bradley got delayed than we were just sitting around sometimes at the unload twiddling thumbs on the clock because someone had to be there to unload the air cans.
Heard this from several people years ago they didn't have good equipment, and they abused people physically, mentally and financially. ☹️ Nice video, good to see scanners and conveyor belts.
They are full of issues, all with varying levels of severity. I became interested in UPS operations as part of research that I am doing re: UPS Hodgkins facility. Let me give you the quick rundown. A coworkers cousin recently applied there and she was hired, but when she came for the orientation before heading down to the warehouse she was told to "leave all electronic devices in a box inside the hiring center, which is frequented by new hires, etc" The new hire instead left, as she felt she could not do that. She instead opted to work in fast food. I remember that I worked there 6 or so years ago (pre-pandemic) and I was asked to do the same. I did not have such a thing and for that I felt fortunate. I quit 7 months later for other reasons but I kept following the UPS reg not to carry any electronic devices with me for at least 3 years, as I thought I would always "return to Brown" The topic of companies forbidding employees to bring devices inside the premises is an incredibly complex one. On one side you have safety concerns and on the other you have whether this act actually violates Rule 7 and 8 of NLRA (union meetings, etc) or other employee safety concerns. Although it appears that taking another approach UPS has adressed both of these. Employees have always been able to access union stewards as they are easily visible (adequately identified as union by clothing) during breaks and lunch times. And as far as "extreme weather safety" is concerned, they have installed weather alert systems inside the facilities and trained employees, supervisors what to do in case severe weather like a tornado breaks out
I wonder... the turn right thing is very useful in the US as you are allowed to drive on on most crossings. With us in Europe that is usually not the case. Does UPS favor right turns in Europe as well? Does anybody know? Thanks!
What a fascinating show! Seeing all the internal work on delivering. I personally wish, delivery people at the end of the trip of my packages, would pay attention to the building numbers in my neighborhood. They deliver to the correct apartment number, but the wrong building, many times.
The blue package was delivered to Hayward CA. When he was talking about right turns only he turn off Hesperian Blvd onto West Winton then right onto Wright Street. I drove tow truck in that area for years.
Hello! I know this video is old, but a lot still holds true. We live in Louisville near the airport, and we marvel to see those UPS planes taking off or landing in such precise order and rhythm. We also see them landing like they're just floating in on a cloud. Now we know how they do it! ... PS: I wonder if this video was Canadian-made, as all the measurements are in the metric system.
I would assume that in addition World Hub MUST have developed some kind of maintenance strategies for this hub. Invariably there are going to be breakdowns on these conveyor systems, they would need a system capable of detecting emerging equipment failures that could come down to something as innocuous as a bearing failure or actuator error that would require that particular leg of the system detecting, then taking that component of the system offline so techs could service and repair the offending components. Or so I would assume. Fascinating expose' of this critical piece of infrastructure that keeps America running on-time, and fully supplied with the pieces that make America the most powerful nation of Earth. Great channel and fantastic content. I do not watch Television anymore, and why would you because RUclips rocks.
In parcel logistics places like this you have contingency plans in place in case something breaks down. They would have to move flow on other conveyor belts, different sorters, etc. Everything is planned in case a conveyor belt rips, or a sorter crashes, or loose internet. There's always a backup plan for most cases unless the physical building itself gets damaged like a natural disaster. Although I guarantee Worldport probably can withstand most tornadoes. Maintenance techs are there to handle breakdowns and get everything going as fasr as possible. There's probably a couple of backup generators. Fiber optical internet, but when that fails, [In the building I work in] they would have at least two cell companies as contingency for that and then dial-up lines for the backup to the backup. I work for the competition as a maintenence tech but the backup procedures are the same. And downtime is your enemy.
So this piece would have you believe that UPS does plane control in the sky and on the ground in Louisville? Wonder when the FAA and ATC relinquished those responsibilities?
I'm hoping you are not dependent on any electronic devices, for those are not allowed inside the hubs. the rules might be a bit more different if you drive though. I was a package handler and quit after 7 months
All that technology and nobody thought of taking a picture of that box to make it easier on the delivery driver finding it in the back of the truck. Especially when its missorted.
It is a number assigned to a specific location of the country. The United States Post Office (USPS) created this for their post offices and the area they cover but every one uses it now
A ZIP code which is used in the USA is the same as a postal code, which we use in many European nations. For example Germany uses 5 digit numeric codes to make routing mail to the correct region, city and neighborhood more efficient. Portugal uses 7 numeric characters in its postal codes.
My old lady is a commercial pilot. During a 45 min traffic stop at LaGuardia she was put into a holding pattern. Consequently She bled through her Kotex during the hold. She was able to land her airplane and get that pad changed once she was able to get to the restroom.😂😂😂😂😂😂
All this and they still can’t deliver a package on time. I love that with their system, once you’ve called about a problem, the system WILL NOT take your call again. That’s customer service right there.
Too bad you couldn't have done an episode on Kodak Rochester when it was at its height in the early 80's..... I worked there then... 60,000 employees in Rochester alone...
Need to put UPS in charge of the U.S. voting process! It is a shame UPS can accomplish shipping over a million packages a day to over 200 countries and we cannot even develop a reliable and secure voting process! Oh maybe politicians don't want the voting process reliable and secure???
If I were the executive of WorldPort UPS I would have management walk or jog the facility so they don't get overwhelmed and understand that it is actually manageable. I support capitalism and improving quality life. How much of the stuff that is made, shipped and bought necessary?
It is all great , until a belt breaks or a computer/ mechanical malfunction , then it is chaos , in ' theory ' it's almost perfection , in reality , it isn't , then what happens ?
Yes, you can wear whatever you like as a package handler. the only thing you cannot do is bring electronic devices inside. So if you take public transit, leave it at home
@Torgonius I'm not from America but I've seen on American youtubers and other American shows, of people turning right on a red, I've got friends in New Jersey and Michigan, and they've said it depends on which state
This is great story, BUT do you have any unwanted how irritating this flipping from one scene to the next every few seconds. Just show the story properly. Please.
Interesting but you could have done the same story in half the time if you didn't keep showing the same vision several times. You must be getting paid but the amount of time your video takes.
I say the same thing with all these documentaries ! RUclips definitely pays for watch time so u gonna see more videos stall on topics more than anything , its crazy !
Well, they are. Longer videos make more money. And this was filmed for TV where ads would have taken a chunk of time. So there's a tighter edit version designed for that. But for streaming like YT, run time doesn't have to be so short.
Uh, huh, we have the technology.... Lost a package of mine so bad that I had to go to a UPS depot myself to "sort it out" as it was in a bin unsorted, and no one seemed to even be aware that package was three days over due, lost, customer calling for it, no one can help. One dummy even told me the driver has until midnight to deliver it. Ever seen a UPS driver after 8 pm even? No.
Why do the meteorologists have to wear dress clothes and ties to stare at screens? Especially the overnight crews? Everyone else in the facility wear their own clothes. Management: "people who make more money have to justify higher salaries by looking like they make more money by spending more money on unnecessary clothes. Especially in Kentucky." 😂
For our business UPS is not as good as they used to be. For many years we always got our packages between 9 to 10am. We could receive and ship out the same day. Now for the last couple of years we never know when our packages will arrive. Most of the time it’s mid to late afternoon. No explanation as to why the change and customer service is not helpful or responsive at all.
@@markpimlott2879 Our business is one of the first buildings in town coming from the direction of the UPS terminal and it is a right turn off the main road. We had early stops for over 30 years until something changed two years ago. It has hurt our efficiency greatly. If that’s a part of a new system it sucks. UPS customer service gives no explanation and is very condescending saying just be lucky if you get it by the end of the day. FEDEX and DHL still come in the morning at the same time.
Intresting video..loved the camera rides on the conveyors however thisis about a u s based company and a u s location..why use foreign measurements ??? liters ?? meters..?? i stopped theb video and did not finish..since this is the u s and were not all scientists.. wgere are the gallons or feet or pounds or miles.. if you want to use metric then use either screen or audio conversions so we all know what your saying !!!!

Uh, huh, we have the technology.... Lost a package of mine so bad that I had to go to a UPS depot myself to "sort it out" as it was in a bin unsorted, and no one seemed to even be aware that package was three days over due, lost, customer calling for it, no one can help. One dummy even told me the driver has until midnight to deliver it. Ever seen a UPS driver after 8 pm even? No.
Anything new?
Why do the meteorologists have to wear dress clothes and ties to stare at screens? Especially the overnight crews? Everyone else in the facility wear their own clothes. Management: "people who make more money have to justify higher salaries by looking like they make more money by spending more money on unnecessary clothes. Especially in Kentucky." 😂
Worldport VS FedEx Memphis
U.S. mail is half the price for small items, and just as fast.
A good portion of that is also transfered and delivered by ups.
yeah retail rates suck but large shippers will have 60-80% discounts
Turn the camera off and let's see that telescope get thrown like a stick of firewood.
Omg founder only had $5000 then gambling workers wages for the company bankrupt
What inspiring story
Come on. You're in America. We use imperial not metric system. You get thumbs down for that.
85% part time employees with no benefits.
Part timers, get great benefits, that is why they still work there, they just do not get great pay or respect.

For our business UPS is not as good as they used to be. For many years we always got our packages between 9 to 10am. We could receive and ship out the same day. Now for the last couple of years we never know when our packages will arrive. Most of the time it’s mid to late afternoon. No explanation as to why the change and customer service is not helpful or responsive at all.

@@markpimlott2879 Our business is one of the first buildings in town coming from the direction of the UPS terminal and it is a right turn off the main road. We had early stops for over 30 years until something changed two years ago. It has hurt our efficiency greatly. If that’s a part of a new system it sucks. UPS customer service gives no explanation and is very condescending saying just be lucky if you get it by the end of the day. FEDEX and DHL still come in the morning at the same time.
And fed ex still gets it wrong.
Intresting video..loved the camera rides on the conveyors however thisis about a u s based company and a u s location..why use foreign measurements ??? liters ?? meters..?? i stopped theb video and did not finish..since this is the u s and were not all scientists.. wgere are the gallons or feet or pounds or miles.. if you want to use metric then use either screen or audio conversions so we all know what your saying !!!!
The annoying though! GG..
Huh?
No idea how big whatever number of meters you said... had to dislike. Do better... you're in America.
I'm American and I understood the measurements just fine.
Always the over kill drama ,
