Not necessarily. Because each container is an atomic unit, you can presort at the origin or some other point. I’d envision this like the old USPS Railroad syst

Not necessarily. Because each container is an atomic unit, you can presort at the origin or some other point. I’d envision this like the old USPS Railroad system. In those days they’d drop a sack of mail at each station and pick up outgoing mail with a hook without stopping. You’ll have small stations and you send the pallet off the main conveyor. That might be directly delivery, or a van or some other arrangement. The big thing is you avoid cross docking and middlemen, LTL type freight.
