    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.

      So they didn’t have AC before? And people wonder why going on a murder rampage is called going postal.

    I like the low hood. I’ve had a dog killed by a postal worker (my fault for letting her run and thinking it was safe being so rural). The jeep the dude was in had shitty sight lines. It’ll probably never get implemented here, since they use personal vehicles out here, but still. It’ll save a lot of kids and dogs in cities and suburbs, I’d imagine.

      Our mail carriers deserve to be taken care of.
