That is a pretty impressive building, I wonder what they call the one off of I-294 in Chicagoland, that is pretty massive too. The one right by the railyard.

I think the one you are referring to is: UPS Distribution Center (Hodgkins, IL) I-294 and 75th Street. It is massive, something to look at while your stuck in the I-294 traffic.

That's it- "The D.C." I couldn't remember, I used to run with some Buster Browns out of Oak Creek, WI down to there, they would get off, and I would keep truckin' to First Ave., I no longer run that bid, and it's become very rare for me to run into those guys lately. That is a pretty big property. If something ever happens at Holland, UPS Freight, or Parcel would be my next job. I hope anyways.

I work in a large distribution center, it's over 800,000sq ft everything runs like organized ciaos. I like it better than working with the public though.

I imagine it's gotta be pretty hectic sometimes.

Many a morning staring at this!

some of our supervisors over the years talked about going to these big hubs like this, the people that would lead them through told em to stay close because they would get lost.
