When UPS or Fedex updates each step in tracking, are they scanning each individual package, or are they scanning the cargo container (only)?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33136points) July 7th, 2019

Someone is sending me an overnight UPS envelope. This morning it showed “Arrived UPS Louisville Sorting facility” and a few minutes ago “En route. Departed Louisville Sorting facility”.

Did they really handled that individual envelope twice today?

Or is it more likely that they knew that my envelope was in a cargo container with a thousand other envelopes, so by scanning the cargo container (once) it updated every status for every item in the cargo container?

Do you know how that works?
