Our objective was to assess the efficiency of the U.S. Postal Service’s transportation consolidation of mail (loading, unloading, and trailer utilization) for long-haul Highway Contract Routes (HCR) for the Chicago and San Francisco Network Distribution Centers (NDC). We determined the Postal Service’s consolidation of long-haul HCR trips for the Chicago and San Francisco CDFs was inefficient.
