SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 news) – The busiest time of year for the U.S. Postal Service is just around the corner but there are some local Postal workers who are busy year round. Last year they processed more than a billion pieces of mail, and each was a puzzle.

Gary Oliver has been deciphering letters and package gibberish for seventeen years. “The millions of pieces of mail that we process every day are mail pieces that are not able to be read at the plants.”
