The New USPS Trucks

There have been a lot of negative changes at USPS lately, so let’s rejoice in one very positive one: new rides for our mail carriers! In 2023 the USPS will start using a fleet of new trucks. They’re calling it a Next Generation Delivery Vehicle (NGDV) and will have upgrades like air conditioning and heat, back-up cameras, and better traction, making them more equipped for rural routes. It’s hard to believe but many of the vehicles in use now (those boxy, classic looking “mail trucks”) were first put on the road in 1986 and 140,000 are still in operation.

Is the design on the cartoonish side? Yes. Does it matter? Not really. It will be a huge upgrade to the daily work environment of thousands of mail carriers.
