How can UPS ship from a city called Hodgkins IN if there is no such city?

When a UPS tracking output says "Hodgkins IN" they are referring to a truck yard off of exit 1 on the Indiana turnpike (near Hammond). Illinois allows a truck to have a maximum of two trailers, Indiana allows three. This location is where they switch between two and three trailer trucks. They refer to it as "Hodgkins IN" because it is under the same management as their Hodgkins IL facility.

There is no Hodgkins Indiana. The town is located in Cook County, IL southwest of Chicago. Hodgkins INDIANA is not a city, it is merely a UPS hub. It is located somewhere in Ohio close to the border with Indiana. The reason is that Indiana allows only double trailers at max, while Ohio and Illinois allow triple trailers. Therefore, when UPS trucks travel from west to east, they drop one trailer in Hodkings ILLINOIS, and then after going through Indiana they get the third trailer in HODGKINS IN, which is just the name of the UPS hub. When traveling east to west, UPS trucks drop the third trailer in HODGKINS IN and pick up a third trailer in HODGKINS IL. Edit: The previous paragraph contains major errors... Hodgkins IN is a UPS transfer facility off Exit 1 of the Indiana Turnpike in Hammond by the Indiana/Illinois border. Illinois does not allow triple bottoms, but both the Indiana and Ohio Turnpikes do allow them.

There is no Hodgkin IN. There is a Hodgkins IL. When you trace a UPS package, it will sometimes tell you that the package is in Hodgkins IN. That is a fictional town. It is actually a truck yard just off of exit 1 on the Indiana toll road. Indiana allows trucks with three trailers on its highways, Illinois allows trucks with two trailers. This truck yard is where they switch trailers between trucks to comply with the regulations. The reason they call it "Hodgkins" is that is under the same management as the UPS facility in Hodgkins IL.
