      their old grumman LLV’s are inefficient, cramped, HOT AS FUCK (no climate control you get a fan lol) that were harder and harder to keep on the road after nearly 4 decades of work. also, a tremendous amount of ‘postal work’ is not letters, but now packages - and these vehicles can’t hold much compared to the new ones.

        According to Wikipedia, the Grumman LLV was in production from 1986—1994… Which seems kinda wild to me in 2025.

        Also according to Wikipedia, when used for mail delivery, its average fuel economy is 8.2—10 mpg 😬

        Yeah, that’s quite an improvement for the company. How do the new ones improve the life of mail carriers specifically?

            Why are you asking me, I’m the one that asked it in the first place.

              Those were obviously rhetorical question marks.

              The information you’re pretending to be interested in is readily available in the article above and elsewhere.

                From OC:

                Those things, from what I heard, are an absolute necessity of an upgrade for postal workers.

                emphasis mine.

                You’re acting like it is obvious what they heard, and I shouldn’t ask for details of what looks like first hand reports of usage of the new vehicles.

                So go fuck yourselves and the high horses you rode in on.

                  Just FYI a comment isn’t an article, you gotta click on the link at the top of the page and read the article, which is what he’s suggesting you read. That’s where you can find the details.

                    I cannot make it any clearer: I am interested in @AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 's account. He said he heard opinions about the new cars, I suppose it’s from drivers. I’d love to hear more. From AceFuzzLord. Or did they write the article?
