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.
Me, too. Out here we get snow, dark weather, rain for months, and they have to drive on gravel and on unpaved shoulders in RWD un-air conditioned and poorly heated tin cans.
Plus they don’t make much in the way of scratch at all so this is the first change they need. When I ask the letter carriers they say that they likely won’t see the new rigs for at least a year on the Left Hand Coast.
(the second thing they need is to be making lots more money because they don’t make enough to deal with customers like me much less their current vehicles)
I’m so incredibly happy for these postal carriers!
