UPS showcases facility ahead of busy holiday season

Cargo and shipping companies are preparing for increased shipping demand this holiday season. In a behind-the-scenes look, UPS showed how packages are processed through its automated Atlanta “super hub,” which is the size of 21 football fields and filled with 18 miles of conveyor belts. UPS President of Worldwide Sales Bill Seward emphasized that the company is fully prepared to handle the holiday surge, hiring thousands more employees and partnering with large retailers to launch holiday campaigns earlier than usual.
