FedEx

How do you move a racehorse from one side of the country to the other? FedEx, of course. Indianapolis is home to one of FedEx’s largest hubs. Their sophisticated matrix of electronic conveyors, digital scales, and laser readers work together to ensure that Manhattan-bound packages (and horses!) don’t accidently end up in Singapore. And, don’t forget the logistics wizards that run all that technology and make the big decisions. They make sure the planes are loaded, weighted, and routed correctly so deliveries can get to their destinations before you get out of bed.
