USPS wonders why it looses money.

I agree , it seems to be the long way around , but they are shipping bulk to the larger facilities and from there to all the smaller ones and then to us.

And that's what puzzled me. The Detroit facility is huge, I haul mail out of it, but instead they sent it to Chicago.

I dunno, there has to be a better way. Sending a package on a nearly 900 mile trip to cover less than 300 makes no sense to me.
