That increase equates to 337 million more packages being handled with automation, resulting in more savings for UPS, she added. Examples of automated technology UPS has deployed include trailer unloading systems and vehicles that can move irregularly sized shipments through facilities. Tomé said on Tuesday's call that the now-removed Amazon volume was "lower quality," adding that UPS' U.S. network is now reconfigured and further automated for more lucrative business. "We now have a leaner, more automated, more agile network that will deliver operating leverage as volume grows," Tomé said. The carrier has been slimming down its capacity to match the Amazon volume reduction and reduce operational costs, a strategy that has led to tens of thousands of job cuts.
