    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hey -

So, I just shipped out a package from Tampa, FL to arrive in Nevada for one of my customers. I checked the temps here, there and in Louisville, KY (as I know some UPS flights from Tampa go through there). Seeing that the temps were above 40 at all points in transit (so I thought) I shipped with two heat packs just in case. Well while tracking the package, I noticed that the package went to DENVER, CO where it was MUCH colder than I would have shipped otherwise (upper 20s - low 30s). Had I know the route before hand, I would not have shipped. As it turns out, the snake arrived alive and warm to its location. However, the stress was killing me!

Does anyone know of a location to find the routes typically taken by the shipping companies? I know there are flight trackers but I have not been able to find actual flight route maps.

Thanks,

Kyle
 
Would be interesting to find out.

I know that Memphis,TN is a major hub for FedEx
and Louisville, KY is a major hub for UPS

Other than that.... I dont have a clue.
 
Kyle, as Kevin stated, those two are their major hubs. They probably rerouted your package through Denver because of problems in Ky, or Tn. All my packages, regardless of where they have generated from, ended up at those two locations. I noticed that, when I signed into FedEx recently, they had some delays so that could be the reason for reroutes.
 
That's just it though, it was routed through Louisville as I expected. So there was no delay or reroute away from the first stop. What gets me is the Denver stop (I assume they have a regional hub there too). Whatever the reason, it would be nice to have some idea of the temperatures that the box is going to travel through beforehand (weather and airport delays are a separate issue here). I mean if we have to wait until the entire country gets above 40 just in case the package takes a round about route that would kind of suck!
 
Oops, that last post was made by me. My roommate was still signed on to the computer and I didn't notice. Sorry!
