The United States Post Office spent 40 billion dollars to replenish their fleet of delivery vehicles, replacing the Grumman Long Life Vehicle that was designed 37 years ago in the 80's era. The new trucks are ugly as hell, but built for functionality, aesthetics be damned! Carriers love them because they can stand up in them, alleviating back problems from hunching over all the time, plus they have rear cameras, and especially that the new vehicles have air conditioning - the most common complaint among drivers...especially in southern states

Anyway, here you go. Strange looking thing...looks like a duck bill with a massive window and bumper that is outrageously large









The fact that Keith Richards has outlived Richard Simmons, sure makes me question this whole, "healthy eating and exercise" thing

It may not be pretty, but it makes a lot more sense.

That's not going to fix the mail delivery problems.

Championships are won by teams who love one another, who respect one another, and play for and support one another."

Stamps have gone up of course, but it's still one of the best bargains we can get to send something anyplace in the country for under a dollar (unless it's a package of course)...that is my opinion of course. Also, I am a huge critic of government overspending and pissing away money on waste. I for one, think the U.S. Postal Service is the one department that actually works as planned and isn't particularly expensive

Before the current fleet of trucks that are nearly 4 decades old and constantly breaking down. The USPS used left over jeeps from WWI and WWII before then, and then welded a cab around the driver...LOL. As a world leader in many areas, it was time to update our postal service to the 21st century IMO
