The electric trucks have a side cargo door, more space and, critically, air-conditioning, promising some long-overdue relief for carriers, who haven’t had an upgrade since the 1980s.

    I mean, relative to what carriers used to drive in, which were effectively refrigerated death boxes, anything would be an improvement.

      I don’t know how they have stayed on the road as long as they have.

      Seen some rural postmen have some shitboxes that are borderline yellowed from age

        My partner was a carrier one year during the holidays when they have a crapton of Amazon packages to deliver. They have stories about sliding backwards down icy driveways.

      Refrigerated? I heard that they were lucky to get a working fan

    Is the USPS making sure a news outlet posts this every few weeks?
