The infrastructure is extensive. First, there will be a need for transporting mail to other parts of the nation. The vast majority of mail traveling to other counties will likely be done through container trucks, and done at night time to reduce the traffic that the truck will have. The truck might serve multiple counties which will make sense since they are larger than the smaller trucks that might deliver packages by mail. Priority and Express mail will get quicker resources since there is a promise to deliver by a certain date.
Once at the county main distribution center, it will be sorted by community post office, and from there – they will be identified exactly where to go based on the postal designation code. Since this looks to be a random alphanumeric number, it is actually defined by the database that will manage all of that. The goal will be to be as efficient as possible while still allowing for additional addresses in the future.
Letter carriers will use postal service vehicles to deliver to their customers. This will be the last mile, and all mail will eventually get delivered with a proposal of a very low percentage of undeliverable mail (as long as the addresser wrote the address correctly). In instances that Kal-Stamps, certified mail, or expedited shipping of a letter or package is added on to the parcel, there will be tracking. The person sending the parcel can email the recipient to provide the tracking code. This tracking code can track down the parcel every time it goes through a scanner. When the parcel goes through the scanner, it will be marked as received. When it goes in the postal service vehicle, it will be marked as left. The carrier will scan the item when delivering therefore marking that parcel as delivered. If it is a package, the recipient can go down quickly to acquire the package. Standard postal letters probably are not that important for immediate attention. Since every letter that has a tracking number might not make sense to scan, each standard letter will be identified as delivered when the postal carrier serviced that community. Certified and higher rate mail will get special attention.
