You would probably be right if your package was the only package they had to deliver, being that that's probably not the case I'm assuming this way makes more sense.

And does this make sense? A UPSMI delivery from Ohio to Lakewood NJ
the green dot is where USPS took over and also about an hour from my house

Has to do with their hubs. They process everything through there so sending something from New York to New Jersey via Memphis is often cheaper and quicker

I believe they are making money on shipping its simple mail that they are loosing on. Since there are less letters being sent , shipping is something they are usually cheaper ..., they prob have that figured out pretty well

isn't the point of ups mail innovations that they transport it to the nearest usps hub? This package has basically passed my house like 3 times

I suspect something is messed up on the label. (might even be barcode or zip is wrong)

USPS does not work that way but UPS does.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

Update
Package made it's way  back to Trenton, and was finally delivered, why couldn't they do that the first time?
