The other one, nope in truck , drive one house, shut off truck, put mail in box,start truck, move one house down shut it off. Wonder how many starters they go through in these things.
Just to mix things up a bit ... one has to wonder why the USPS isn't acquiring electric vehicles for city mail delivery ????

Seems like the perfect application: slow speeds, lots of stop and go and idling, fleet overnight parking/charging, and a known number of not very many miles every day.
