What is happening in the supply chain

Workshare consolidators batch parcels by 5-digit ZIP code. When a trailer departs the partner facility (such as Glendale Heights IL, York PA, Greenwood IN, or Hebron KY), the partner pushes a departure event to USPS while USPS itself still awaits physical DDU induction.
