That boxy white mail truck from your childhood was ordered to last 24 years. It kept working past 30, and not one of those summers came with air conditioning. No wonder its official name is the Long Life Vehicle.
Mail delivery once meant a Jeep DJ-5, with the carrier sitting on the right to reach roadside mailboxes without leaving his seat. It wore a Jeep badge without the four wheel drive. Earlier milk rounds had their own shortcut: the Divco’s standing driving position let the milkman step straight out carrying glass bottles. Its familiar rounded nose barely changed in nearly half a century.
The brown UPS truck borrowed a little railroad prestige, wearing a color associated with elegant Pullman cars. FedEx began in 1973 with a much smaller introduction: just 186 packages delivered on its first night.
Now your kids are watching for Amazon vans. In 2018, Amazon increased its Mercedes Sprinter order to 20,000 vehicles for delivery partners. Postal carriers, meanwhile, are finally getting trucks with air conditioning and enough space to stand upright inside.
