This is a very neat idea. I wonder if transport companies already do this to their own packages as a form of auditing and optimizing their own services. Or if they do it to other companies as a comparison metric.

As a 3rd party, you would need large N data points to have actionable information. It might be that collecting the data points costs more than what they are worth.




If you're a company with multiple locations and you send items between those locations then it shouldn't be too expensive to put some tracking technology inside to collect travel information.
