I'm surprised that their old and tired mail trucks haven't bankrupted them.

@SubstantialKick Exactly. It's not "can we afford to upgrade this" but "can we afford NOT to upgrade this."

@BlueMetalChick According to an article from 2 years ago, the average age of their fleet is 27 years old.

Add that to the fact that their vehicles have been catching fire and dropping like flies. They are literally running those poor things until they have nothing left.
