Update: Well the package, which was supposed to include an intake manifold gasket  for a SBC showed up. The fact that it instead included header gaskets for a big block is slightly puzzling. Anyone need some header gaskets?

I know I’m not smart enough to understand everything that goes in to why FedEx sends things the routes that they do, but this seems odd, even for them.

We won’t even go in to why the package went the way of Shelby, MT or Berthold ND when they aren’t on a main east/west interstates. I’m sure that makes perfect sense to FedEx’s computers. Why they drove it through here without, you know, taking it off the truck is more confusing. Maybe that package just really, really wanted to drive along the Columbia River?

Shelby is on US HWY 2, the high line. The truck must have driven along the high line and not I-90. HWY 2 pops out at bonners ferry, you can go south to post falls or keep going west to  where ever.

I’m sure that’s how it went, but not really sure why you would send a shipment headed west up along there instead of I90 . Like I said, I’m sure it makes sense to FedEx’s computers.

I have stuff from the west coast go to Billings before it is transferred back onto a truck and heads west again for Kalispell.

Primary routing center in Portland, more packages need to be delivered to destinations on US 2, so consolidation is done to save on cost per mile.
