<p>[QUOTE="Beardigger, post: 7959365, member: 104605"]I know a guy that works for the Postal Service in Florida. He says that the postal service is sending more mail by truck rather then by air since October 1st, which is why they relaxed the service standards times. So lets say you are sending something from NY to Florida. The truck stays in NY until it has a full load for Florida, when full, it is dispatched. Travels direct to Florida, hence no scans on items in truck until arrival at destination. If it went by air, it might have to go to Atlanta airport to be loaded onto a different plane, then you would see an "enroute processed" scan in Atlanta. That explains the lack of tracking updates. Postal Bigwigs see trucking as a more cost efficient way to move mail as well as more reliable. (think Southwest airlines problems last weekend). It just takes longer.</p><p>I would ask my buddy to look into your package to Florida, but I know he is off this week! I'm sure it will get there.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
