After pickup and origin station, what is the first additional step in the FedEx Ground package life cycle?

• A. Linehaul
• B. Destination stations
• C. Final delivery
• D. Hubs/OTPs

Answer: (A)

The first step after pickup at the origin is the linehaul move. This stage handles the long-distance transport, taking the package from the local origin facility to a larger linehaul hub where it can be sorted and routed toward its destination region. From there, the package proceeds to a destination station (or a larger hub) for local sorting, and finally to the customer in the final delivery stage. Hubs and OTPs are central sorting points involved in this process, but the initial action right after pickup is moving the package via linehaul.
