Why is it that when some packages are being delivered from Texas way down south, that the mail delivery ends up going to the east states like Illionois or Iowa?

Why cant the mail delivery people whether USPS, UPS or Fex drive straight from Texas to the upper states to Nebraska or to South or North Dakota?

Why drive through wacky routes all the frikkin way to the eastern states?

But why from Texas to a farther state thats on the eastern side like Iowa or whatever?

Youre basically waiting longer

Why cant they deliver from Texas to Nebraska which is a straight path upwards.

Why waste more days by going to the stupid eastern side of the states?

Why not stay on a straight path from Texas to upper Nebraska or whatever?

I cant figure out why they don't drive just my letter directly where it goes either. Theyre probably just pocketing my $.55 and getting rich.

Like I said, itd be alot easier and less days for a straight delivery from Texas to Nebraska or the Dakota states.

Why stray off to the eastern states like frikkin Iowa? Theyre taking more days just to deliver a frikkin package.

This bothered me enough that I called the post office and they told me that you hadn't finished building your freight center yet.

Maybe they don't have as much of a stream from Texas to Nebraska as they do east states to Nebraska and beyond and can be more efficient in how they load the trucks that way?

It shouldnt be that difficult to be a mailman for UPS or whatever driving from Texas straight to Nebraska or one o the Dakota states.

Dont go driving to the eastern part of the U.S. Youre just driving longer for more extra days for what anyway? Whats there to see in Iowa?

I swear this was the most annoying type of calls I had to handle when working at UPS, "Why can't they just ship it straight to my house? I'm only 6 miles away, why does it take 2 days to delivery my package! I can do it in less than an hour!".
