I sat on a friend’s porch in town one day and watched them make deliveries. They parked at a corner and one guy walked around the block while the other guy sat in the truck. When thing 1 was done, thing 2 got out and walked around the block while thing 1 sat in the truck.

Another problem with the USPS is the fact that they aren’t allowed to raise their rates as needed. Plus the government has also mandated liabilities funding for the USPS that private companies don’t have to do.

The sad thing is that once the USPS is killed off, the feds will impose price controls on UPS and effectively turn them into the USPS.

Indeed, a purposeful hobbling by the privatize crowd. Personally, I hope they do privatize...oh the bitching and moaning as prices skyrocket.
