Hey I hope you enjoy this new video (and the new logo!) As always, this video wouldn't exist without Squarespace's support so make sure to check them out!

"and it all happens while we sleep" jokes on you I'm up all night loading overnight cargo planes
-
How overnight shipping works: 1. Nighttime comes. 2. Package is shipped.
-
I always assumed when you bought overnight shipping, the FedEx location descended into total chaos and some guy sprinted into the room, grabbed the package, boarded a jet, and raced to the destination before chucking the package out the window with a parachute attached to it. Then a fedex driver on the ground would retrieve it and place it on the front porch.

I’m an ex-airline pilot and current charter pilot - just wanted to say this is the first vid of yours I’ve watched and it was extremely accurate and well made. You’ve gained a sub from me, keep on making great videos bud!

Worked at the Memphis Hub for awhile.. I worked specifically in Heavy Weight, anything over 150 lbs was handled in my area, the size of 4 football fields, ran by over 2000 forklifts. The Memphis world hub is absolutely mind blowing. Planes come in every less 2 minutes on a normal day, spread throughout the sky by 3 miles and run like clockwork. It's amazing to see
-
I just thought truck drivers were hauling ass all night, grand theft auto style lmaooo
-
Am I the only one who comes back to watch this video whenever I'm aggressively tracking a package?
-
You want to know why your package arrived late? Look at 10:09... Package stuck.
-
i never thought it was this advanced, probably cause I never thought about it.
-
Just got off my night shift at the UPS Worldport Hub in Louisville, Kentucky. Come home and see this. I can never get away from work lmao. This video is on point tho, so great job man.
-
I always thought the plane flew over my house and they dropped the package perfectly on my front steps
-
As a FedEx truck driver, I STRONGLY recommend you use a package pickup location rather than home delivery. As states in the video, sometimes theres not enough Freight to warrant sending a truck or plane. However pickup locations act as collection points, which means they might just have enough Freight for regular service. Pickup locations are usually cheaper, quicker, and in an age of porch pirates, safer overall.

The Memphis hub was made possible by SquareSpace
-
I legit thought that eBay guys were straight up bullshitting me when they said my packages had been dispatched at like 2am.
-
Just amazing to think how much time these companies might have spent to calculate out their finances so that they become profitable inspite of running so many planes, trucks, airport dues, fuel dues, employee salaries and many other costs
-
Im from memphis wonder why i get my stuff so fast lmao
-
As a UPS worker, this is 100% accurate. Overnight shipping used to be logitstics hell, but as more automation comes into play, it has gotten far easier.
-
Yes all I wanted was a plane video and I kinda got one
