The US Postal system contracts non- USPS employees to deliver the mail to people in certain rural areas. The homes are assigned an HC route number and a mail box number, and the contractor uses his/her personal car rather than a traditional white USPS truck. This is what I have gathered from the experience with my parents who had a P.O. box number for thirty years, and last year they were switched to an HC address that I can never remember!

the person who assigned it was drinking a Hi C at the time.

There are three kinds of delivery carriers with the US Postal Service. City Letter Carriers wear uniforms, drive postal vehicles and get paid a lot of money. Rural letter carriers don't wear uniforms, usually drive their own vehicles but sometimes drive postal vehicles and get paid according to the length of their route, the number of boxes and the volume of mail (among many other factors). Highway Contract carriers are not postal employees, but contractors who are the lowest bidder. They use their own vehicles. Some Highway Contract routes use HC numbers which tell their contract number, but some use E911 addresses so that emergency vehicles can find them. So, an HC address would look something like this: HC 24 Box 219 Little Town, OH 45111 The 24 is the contract number and the 219 is the box number.
