Postal Letter

How does the Postal Service allow this when they are broke?

I live in a town of about 25,000 people, and today I saw two postal service vehicles on the same road within a mile of each other. Is this common in other areas? It seems odd and a waste of money. @Yahoo Will-probably so, but you would think there could be a better design

1. They are just delivering the mail as they always have.
2. I used to be a mailman. You do not know where the route boundaries are. I've seen two mail trucks on opposite corners of an intersection, since that's where one route ends and the other begins.
3. The Postal Service is wasting a huge amount of money (much due to stupid regs and unions), but the lines between delivery sectors must happen somewhere.
4. They should have just one postal service truck to handle all deliveries nationwide -- and there should be no two delivery districts bordering one another, where two trucks have to meet up and bump briefly.
5. Wow, 25,000 people and one Postal truck couldn't hold that amount of mail? And get it delivered by 10:00AM? Let's see, an average of 3 pieces per house hold, that would be 75,000 pieces. How dare the Post Office use more than one vehicle!
