PREMIERING TONIGHT AT 9P EST: "UPS/FedEx: Inside the Package Wars"
Tonight CNBC takes you inside the mad dash to move more than 25-million packages a day. It’s a revealing look at a complex system of jaw dropping automation that feeds an army of trucks on the ground and a fleet of planes in the sky.
Our cameras explore the inner-workings of UPS Worldport and the FedEx Super Hub, showing how extreme automation and hi-tech logistics help two companies succeed. The documentary also covers how both companies are managing the e-commerce revolution and the pressure to invent ways to be faster, smarter, and cheaper. Plus, beyond packages…a new frontier: the delivery giants set their sights on even more growth with unique strategies that have the delivery guys cashing in on pharma, smart phones and even luxury cars.
