Is USPS driving my package from NJ to ... IDK, Salt Lake City, maybe? I'm in Reno waiting for this. More than 24 hours in transit clearly rules out air travel.
Is the federal government paying to drive packages across the country instead of flying? Isn't that more expensive?

It’s a government agency, they do what they want. They’re under no obligation to explain what they do to anyone because there’s a law that you can’t compete with the USPS. So just forget about your shit , you’ll get it when you get it.

A lot of ground packages are moved by rail too.

It probably costs them $9k to ship 44k lbs worth of mail from NJ to Reno.
I can't find how much it costs for freight flights but I imagine it's alot more considering they charge .2c per pound a mile.

yeah they're definitely trucking it - mail moves by ground when it's not priority express or when air capacity is full, plus it's way cheaper for them to throw your package on a truck with thousands of others than book air space for regular mail.
