Sortation Area – All Terminals�The sortation area is separated into 2 sections:�On the right side are routes/stop that originate out of PDX.�On the left side are stops that will be transferred to other terminals on nightly linehauls (Sun-Thurs). The receiving terminal will then sort by route/stop.�Empty bins are collected and staged in the back.�
PDX Routes/Stops

Empty Bins
PDX Sortation Area – Fine Sort�In PDX, all bags are sorted down to the route and then to the individual stop (“fine sort”).�
Driver Staging Area - Consolidation
Once the nightly sort (Sun-Thurs) has been completed, the bins will be transferred to the driver’s staging area to be consolidated with all of the freight for the following day’s deliveries.
Driver Staging Area – Load Scan
Before the driver departs the terminal to begin the route, a “load scan” will be performed on each bag to account for every item being delivered.
