Does the US Postal service use planes to move the mail in the U.S. |
Answer:
Yes they do. They also use semi-trucks with trailers, box trucks, and regular passenger vehicles. They offer Air-mail service to International destinations also.
Planes are also the most economical way for them to transport mail to Hawaii and/or Alaska, since they are so far away from the mainland US.
Added; However, the US Postal Service does not own any cargo aircraft. The mail is flown under contract by various commercial carriers, including in some cases, believe-it-or-not, UPS and FedEx.
