Mine hasn’t been updated either since leaving Anchorage @ 3:26, but I’m hoping the scans are just not updating every hour or so like they should.
The 3:26 departures only landed within the past 45-60 min or so. Remember the packages have a lot to do between landing and getting sorted to the destination city. The next flight out of SDF to my airport (MSP) is in just under 2 hours. It'll get to MSP and to my local UPS hub in time. I've seen this before. We'll be fine!

EDIT: Speaking of which, I just got a 2:48am import scan at SDF. Someone a few minutes before my post had a 2:52am import scan. It's all coming together.

I just worry now, that my sister won’t hear the doorbell as she takes care of our 91 year old mother. I have wondered about having it delivered to the school where I teach but then if they don’t deliver during school hours, I’m screwed. I guess I just have to hope my sister hears the doorbell.

I do believe what you’re saying about getting to MHR on time, but the 3:26 flights from ANC take about 5 hours to reach Louisville, which would’ve arrived at 8 PDT, or 11 ET local time. It’s been at least 3 hours since with no scan. I am showing the next flight to Mather will be departing in 15 mins or so, actually.

Either way, I am hoping to wake up to some good news. This week has been stressful enough. Haha

The departure scan does not equal the time the flight took off, let alone started taxiing to the runway. That is the time that the pallets were scanned and loaded onto the plane. Judging by the departure scan and my arrival scan, there was roughly an hour between scan and takeoff, and on the landing there was roughly 45 min between touchdown and import scan. This was the flight my phone was on: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS81/history/20180921/0000Z/PANC/KSDF

There was also a string of storms rolling through the central US and a few of the UPS flights had to take slightly longer paths to avoid the bad stuff.

Ok, I stand corrected. Even if they just arrived an hour ago, would that even be enough time to move cargo from one plane to another?
