UPS Structure
UPS small package operations are divided into:
Package delivery/pickup (the Brown trucks you see in your neighborhood).
Hub — sorting packages.
Feeder — over-the-road package transport, hub to hub or hub to delivery center. It’s called “feeder” because this operation “feeds” packages to hubs and delivery centers.
Airline — package transport via our air network.
UPS has developed and actively utilizes operations research models and applications in all four of these operating areas.
