One night many long years ago I was driving at night from San Francisco to Sacramento. I think it was after a MacWorld Expo. I was running over things while pieces of paper were blowing around. Some of the things I ran over were quite substantial. This went on for several miles from just after the Bay Bridge until almost Vallejo. Finally I caught up with a semi truck owned by the United States Postal Service with the back door open. It was pulled over to the side of the road. It occurred to me that lots of the mail that had been strewn all over the road over about 100 miles would never be accounted for.

Well one large envelope, 2.1 oz., only needed to go 15 miles. The other large envelope, 4.2 oz., only went about 30 miles total in small hops through mostly urban areas. Neither was likely on a big truck. I really don't think the USPS lost either envelope.
