It is usually Monday delivery, but the Sparks parcel did not arive until Thursday (10 days). Some parcels do not visit Tracy but end up going to Sacramento, then Durham, then me.Īnd, it used to be if I ordered on a Sunday, the parcel shipped on Monday, and consistently was delivered to me on Friday. I had one stuck in Sparks last week for 2-1/2 days, then it made its way to Tracy, CA, then to the FedEx distribution center in Durham, CA and then to me. Although parcels get out of the Chicago area quickly, the real problems seem to occur at the destination end. However, the last 4 shipments seem to be following a UP routing, BUT one must be careful in that assumption, as Interstate 80 roughly parallels the railroad from Nebraska to northern California. Then, it usually seemed they headed to the West Coast on the BNSF, as the package goes through places I recognize on the Transcon. Everything heads down to the Chicago area and I assume that first leg is by truck. I get a lot of FedEx Ground items from the Midwest, specifically Milwaukee. Let's see how long it takes for someone to tell me I'm completely wrong, Ten.nine.Įdited 2 time(s). From discussion here as well as actually seeing UPS trailers and containers on the Chicago - Seattle domestic IM trains, it seems reasonable to think that it made at least that Chicago-Seattle leg by rail. Once my item clears Hodgkins it'll generally have no waypoints until arriving a few days later in Seattle prior to final transit. Hodgkins is on the SW side of Chicago and happens to be the location of a major UPS hub adjacent to the BNSF Willow Springs IM yard. If I order something that gets shipped via UPS ground from the east coast a lot of times it'll typically bounce around for a couple of days before landing in, I think, Hodgkins, Illinois. But you can make guesses based on what you know about major intermodal shipping lanes and the behavior of a package. There's no way to know for certain, for most of us.
