That explains nothing, because my premise (which is likely flawed), is that someone already stopping at every house can add packages to the route for lower cost than sending out special deliveries everywhere. Not only that, but the USPS is non-profit, so there's no high dollar executives to pay.

If adding packages means less of a route can be completed, that simply means the routes have to be shortened and more carriers added.
