...and a package goes through several facilities like that, to get where it's going. Whether it's FedEx, UPS or USPS. It's amazing it works as well as it does.
I worked in a UPS warehouse in the 90's. A much smaller facility then the one pictured there, but that looks about right.
50K packages per day to PSA? I don't know...that seems like a lot. I used to load and fill up 40 Foot trailers for UPS, and didn't touch anywhere near that many packages in a day. I don't think our entire crew in our section touched near that amount of packages, and we'd fill (or come close to filling) 6-8 trailers in a non-stop 5-6 hour shift of totally busting our asses from beginning to end. This is just packing trucks...not unboxing and cataloging on top of that.
50K "Cards" per day, seems a bit more reasonable to believe.
