Thread 513499841

You will start seeing it by the end of 2025 in select markets and it is slated to replace all the old Grumman LLVs (the current postal van) by 2030.

Say something nice about it.

>>513499841 (OP)
it looks like a shoe

It should kill fewer pedestrians.

>>513499888
It should but it wont

>>513499841 (OP)
wonder what they're gonna do with all the old ones

>>513499841 (OP)
Was the intent of designing that to make it as ugly as possible?

you know americans are fat when they have to put cowcatchers on mail trucks

It looks like that Pixar Grubhub commercial.

Why does it look like a spastic?

>>513499841 (OP)
Looks like it has good visibility. Stupid looking otherwise but purpose built vehicles often are.

My local mailman was replaced with one of these. They're ugly but doesn't really matter to how the mail arrives.

It won out over this competing vehicle which was all-electric and which IMHO looks like it belongs on a moon colony. Pic related.

They accepted 6 prototypes of teach and tested them extensively. The OP one won, it has a conventional gasoline engine.

>>513499971
Sell 'em I hope. They are the same basic vehicle as an old school small Ford Ranger like from the late '80s and the '90s.

>>513499841 (OP)
Are these the ones that Slow Joe paid $5 billion for. And twenty were delivered after the company that won the bid admitted that they had no idea how to build trucks?

>>513499841 (OP)
It looks very polite

>>513499841 (OP)
It’s probably decent at delivering mail?

It looks retarded, but at least it has air conditioning. One of the drivers in my town died from heat stroke.

>Say something nice about it.

I want to see one of these electric vehicles at -30

>>513499971
Sell them to Africa

Is the big black circular plate at the bottom supposed to work like the Google India Streetview vision obscurity disk so the driver will never see shit?

>>513500416
LLV stands for Long Life Vehicle, these things are overbuilt. They will be classic vehicles some day, as I said before they are based on the same vehicle platform as the Ford Ranger and the Mazda B2000 and some others cars, even the Mustang for a time. But beefier.

I can see people taking off the huge postal shell and putting on fiberglass Cobra kits on these and having a great time just with the stock LLV engine.

>>513500350
They chose the gas entry over the electric.

how many billions would it cost to install EV charging infrastructure at every fucking post office? retarded idea

You'd have to be a fag to let people see you driving around in that fagmobile.

>>513499841 (OP)
I'm surprised they didn't make it electric, too.

Even the United States Postal Service is transitioning and going gay. Seems about American.

Approximately one payment to israel or ukraine

>>513499973
Naa, to be as functional as possible. It has most of the same features as the new Amazon delivery truck, except much smaller and with a gas engine instead of electric(which is why it has a protruding front-end).

>>513501048
That's the entire point of the government, no one is going to great this infrastructure for free. The central body should take up these civic duties, see bridges, roads, dams, etc all built by the state. No way Mcdonadls is going to pitch in let alone the average joe.

Looks goofy, recognizable though. Was there something wrong with the old fleet of vehicles?

thx op
i love the post office

>>513500416
they will be used until they die

each one of these new ones just kicks another spare llv down the chain

>>513501366
A cost too high it seems. Shame.

>>513499841 (OP)
If I had to get hit by a truck I'd want it to be this truck.

I hope all cars look something like this in 10 years.
- huge windows
- easy entry/exit
- low floor
- fits drywall sheets and plywood easily
- gas or electric
- can live out of it if needed

Protip - it has a potty so the postal workers can shit and piss and change their tampons on the job rather than having to pull into a park or a Hardees. Also it has cameras inside and out.

It's a humiliation ritual.

god it's ugly

Former CCA here for USPS. Im a zoomie, 25 years old. Went through the training about a week. Did the driving tests.

I quit after a 2 and a half weeks on the job because they pay $19hr. Not enough. You cant get me to manually case and sort the mail every single day and THEN walk miles and miles every day delivering 50 shitty temu packages to normies and spam mail to boomers every single day in the hot sun for less than $35hr.

>>513504383
Doesn't help it when your front hole is shooting out pus does it? Wait I don't want to know.

>>513504266
considering the rate they spontaneously explode, probably not many?

I sometimes see them delivering mail in those Mercedes Vans. Why don't they just do that? Why do they need this meme ass custom made shitbox?

>>513504402
that's extremely antisemitic

>>513504402
Then the procurement guy's buddy couldn't make huge money off a new contract for a bespoke vehicle, and then slide a kickback to the procurement guy.
You'd have to only pay somewhere around normal prices, instead of being able to claim the higher price tag is because it's a super special vehicle.

>>513504399
They each cost a billion. For each of the five prototypes.

Like how the charging stations cost 1.5 billion each.

Why don't they ride CT110s? That would be even cheaper.
Because of the exact same reason. It doesn't meet their requirements.

>>513499971
During past vehicle refresh cycles, the sold them as surplus. One of my brother's friends got one for $14. It had an ugly cheap paint job (USPS does that to cover the logos as cheaply as possible) and was annoying with the steering wheel on the other side but for $14, it was perfect for a 16 year old.

>>513504441
$19/hr to not be a fat American seems like a good deal to me

Boohoo walking a few miles a day. 80 year olds walk a few miles a day in Europe. That's kinda what your legs were evolved to do

What’s wrong with it? You’d think they’d be designed to do a million miles. It’s giant? I’m gonna google it now

There is no way with the gearing. But it's a Ranger so you can drop in a nice manual tranny with LSD and you're off and away.

>>513504266
Probably depends on who is in office when they're surplused. Obama's Cash4Clunkers shows what Democrats think about old gas powered vehicles so they'll probably be crushed or dropped in the ocean as reefs.

Meanwhile in Supai, Arizona, they still use these bad boys

>>513504682
Carrying 25-30lbs of packages and driving all day included its not just delivering packages, you also have to deliver hundreds of letters each day. You probably walk 15-20 miles a day. All those shitty temu packages walking miles in the hot sun. No not doing it.

$19hr isnt a liveable wage in america.

>>513504594
Nobody wants to work there and for good reason. They pay like shit.

If they started out at like $25hr and then after a year bumped it to $32hr many people would work there. They are bleeding employees

Me too and I love mailmen. But not the black ones.

Cuck truck

>>513504682
I was one. The problem wasn’t the job itself. I had a great route in suburbia. The issue was management being a slave driver and sending you back out into the field when you got back to the hub at 5pm like everyone else. They’d say “Anon, I need you to do a little part of a route someone didn’t finish. It should take you 45 minutes.”

Three hours later…

I had to hurry my ass when I got back, sort my incoming mail, and stealth around the office to the time clock so they didn’t bother me. Bunch of anti-white Filipinos.

>>513504251
i piss in a cup while leaning into the truck and then pour it on the ground like a gentleman

>>513503915
Rural mail carriers still use Jeeps/SUVs, just not the cool white ones.

They need to go green and do it like the old days..

>>513504834
In Alabama, it comes by boat.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU77wBR-U-s

>>513504969
My old neighbor Bud Campbell was actually famous for converting jeeps into boat launch vehicles for the use of harbors and resorts. They were also the basis for some vehicles which were like mini DUKWs and used in the Dells.

That's a damn shame. Northrop Grumman have built all sports of neat kit for the military over the decades and those little mail trucks are still the coolest thing they ever made. The llvs are downright iconic. Part of Americana as much as yellow school buses. It's like if london decided to retire the existing ones and radically redesign all their black cabs. Not something that should or or needs have ever been modernized like this. It's embarrassing.

>>513504846
Delivering useless shit like a package of hair ties with a scratched out address that you dropped somewhere in the seat of your truck was a pain. Sorry lady. You’re not getting them. Just go to fucking CVS.

>>513499841 (OP)
I don't know what vehicle my local is using now but they've been using it for like 35 years.

>>513505219
If they want to keep carriers delivering mail they have to upgrade the vehicles and increase pay structure, right now I think you have to work like 10-12 years to make $32hr LOL.

Get the carriers new vehicles with AC like amazon does and increase pay to $28hr and then $32hr after 1 year. Remember pay is nationwide. Its the same everywhere in every city.

The cuck box mobiles have zero AC in them LMAO. So carriers pass out. It is miserable to deliver mail in them.

This was a long time coming because the post office has been bleeding employees for decades.

The only ones who stay with USPS are the ones who work inside like mail clerks and the desk, they are actually pretty comfy jobs. But even then, they get paid like shit despite staying inside all day.

It would be hilarious if ICE bought a fleet of them.

>>513504642
they were all jeep's in the 80's early 90's

>>513505526
The vehicles in OP's image will have AC. My step-mother was a postal carrier until around 40, at which point she moved into the office to be in charge of the PO boxes. She wasn't a very smart woman so it was good work for her.

>>513505339
Electric makes sense for this class of vehicle though.
>Low speed
>Constant stop-start while idling
>Consistent daily usage before being returned to the same depot overnight
>Frequently used indoors and in close proximity to pedestrians

>>513505526
I was told the best job at a post office is the janitor. They are former letter carriers and are essentially semi-retired. They come in and clean in the morning after all the carriers leave, work roughly two hours, then go home and get paid roughly 28 an hour.

>>513505834
Mind you, paid an entire day’s worth of hours.

>>513499841 (OP)
I like it, reminds me of those saabs from the 80s

>>513499841 (OP)
why do i sense that this thing probably has weird tech for both gathering/reading and transmitting signals inside it somewhere

wait, is USPS actually a giant spook front? ah Goddammit there's another rabbithole for me to go down.
>Yes, the United States Postal Service (USPS) has a law enforcement and security arm called the **United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS)**.

The USPIS is one of the oldest federal law enforcement agencies in the country, with a history dating back to 1775. Its mission is to protect the Postal Service, its employees, and its customers from criminal misuse of the mail. Postal Inspectors are federal law enforcement officers who have the authority to carry firearms, make arrests, and serve search warrants.

Their work is directly related to the mail and includes a wide range of activities, such as:

* **Investigating postal-related crimes:** This includes mail theft, mail fraud, identity theft, financial crimes, and the illegal mailing of narcotics, explosives, or other dangerous materials.
* **Providing security for postal facilities and employees.**
* **Conducting forensics and intelligence work:** The USPIS has a forensic laboratory and employs analysts who use various techniques to support their investigations. They also partner with other federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies on task forces to combat crimes like drug trafficking.

In recent years, the USPIS has also been involved in more controversial intelligence-related activities. Reports have emerged about a program called the **Internet Covert Operations Program (iCOP)**, which was designed to monitor publicly available information online, including social media, to assess potential security threats to the Postal Service. This program has drawn criticism and questions from lawmakers about the scope of the USPS's role in intelligence collection.

>>513505765
Yeah, I remember when they swapped them out with the current vehicles. I wasn't old enough to drive so I didn't get a shot at the surplus jeeps. They mostly disappeared from the roads after a couple of years. I'm guessing they were already near their end of life and going from being used for slow, stop and go, usage, to being driven by teenagers with little experience ended up killing a lot of the jeeps.

They were never meant to be used on freeways. Only streets. You basically drove an armored golf cart. Still, it had some impressive features such as able to turn corners on a dime and the table you kept your tray of letters on was so stable you could put on open cup of coffee on it without it spilling. No cupholders.

>>513506459
I didn’t get that because I didn’t stay long enough. I’m really debating even going back, honestly. I don’t want to have a fucking heatstroke.

The manufacturer refuses to extend service for parts and the contract doesn't allow them to use third party parts, the fleet is 40+ years old and has been cannibalizing itself

>>513504621

A while? Technology is the only time I'll use a (((current year))) argument - it's fucking criminal they made these guys cruise around in sometimes 110 degree heat. Our regular mail man would use the big truck and he had a little shit fan plugged into the 12 volt cigarette lighter adapter in the summer. I tried every which way to help out but he's like nah we can't tap into the wiring.

I had a full table as well. I just used maybe a few inches to put a can of rockstar. When I was a smoker I’d smoke in the truck all the time. Biggest culprits to excessive mail is old people. They subscribe to physical magazines of useless shit like gardening monthly. I had a lady who subscribed and donated to every single political organization, regardless of political party or affiliation. She had maybe 25 letters a day.

The sun helmet? No. You don’t have to wear it. You could wear any hat. I had the helmet. It’s actually plastic. It kept the rain off nicely. Even when I was in training, I tried to dress official as possible so people wouldn’t think I was a creep on someone’s lawn. You don’t get your official uniform until 90 days unless someone gives you hand-me-downs.

They give you a pre-paid USPS card with 500 dollars to order stuff like bags, clothing, boots, hats, etc. thing is, the prices are adjusted to be high so a pair of wool pants was 100 dollars.

Real bumpers are making a comeback

You city carriers are complaining when rural carriers have a shittier union. Don't even get paid hourly after the 90 day mark, get paid by "route evaluation" where they determine your pay based on the absolute optimal conditions and the concept you can deliver all mail to a house in 2 seconds (despite many people having 1/4 mi long driveways). That $22/hr you make in training quickly slips down when the route that takes you 12 hours to complete is evaluated at 7 hours, and since you're evaluated on a 7 hour route they throw a 5 hour evaluation route on top of you which was routed decades ago before people developed the rural area to route plotting is fucked unless you've done that extra route several times and learn the tricks.
Had many days where I went in at 4 am and left at 2 am just to work the next day. 20 days on 1 day off since amazon doesn't do rural routes so you HAVE to work sundays to fulfill their contract. Fuck that noise I'm glad my body broke down and I had to quit the job for medical reasons

>>513504441
$19/hr is pretty shitty for that actually. $35 sounds right. Remembering actual inflation and housing prices.

Those charities smell blood in the water and once these old women donate to one of them it seems every motherfucker starts sending them solicitations.
I did an aux route up here for a little bit and one woman would get more shit every day than the school.
Only drove LLV in training and apart from great turning radius it was pretty well a shitbox. We had the mercedes minivan which was actually pretty decent with a radio and AC and decent cargo area. That new shit can't possibly be worse than the LLV.

They're getting scrapped. They're legally not allowed to be sold, the contract for their acquisition states they must be destroyed. The ones that are in private hands now were either made outside of the contract specifications or sold to local governments through alternate channels.

>>513507672
god the the 90 day probation was the worst. Id be walking around in street clothes and that stupid thin blue vest with just the teeny tiny logo patch on my shoulder and I'd spend like 5 minutes or so at someones front door asking to be allowed into their foyer

I mean yeah, because of it's design you can't really go anywhere else no ? You couldn't even get out of the road by driving over the curb with it I reckon.

>when the route that takes you 12 hours to complete is evaluated at 7 hours, and since you're evaluated on a 7 hour route they throw a 5 hour evaluation route on top of you which was routed decades ago
happened to me in the city. My route was clocked in at 4 1/2 hours somehow and it always had the most packages dedicated to it in the giant container at work, I never even got remotely close to finishing it and my manager always told me to split another half route with another carrier right after she'd get done yelling at me for working overtime the day before AFTER I'D ALREADY ASKED FOR LESS HOURS

and she told me to be thankful I was only working 12 days in a row when it used to be 2 weeks straight

>>513503915

Who the fuck still gets mail?

>>513507990
My primary rural route was 35 miles and 150 houses with 4 MBUs serving an additional 200 houses (in a golfing community that was somehow considered rural) and I usually got tacked on an extra 25+ mile route when I got back to the station. Sometimes they sent me on a rural route to some ass end nowhere of the county (big county) and the extra route would end up 120+ miles and it was ridiculous because these people would never label their houses because people who live out there don't want to be found, and if they did it was some redneck burnt wood sign and nothing reflective so I've have to drive by shining a high lumen flashlight at every sign looking for their house to deliver packages.

There's no way this isn't filled with useless 'connectivity' technology that will fail and 'need to be replaced/upgraded' in 4 years. Not to forget that it can't be 'fixed' without special diagnostic computers and isn't the road quality of previous iterations.

When I was living in a condo the mailboxes got broken into. USPS wouldn't deliver until they got new stronger ones. 3 fucking months I had to go pick up my own mail. Not that big of a deal but the point is they definitely care.

Ev/hybrid tech makes a lot of sense for postal vehicles (and garbage trucks) because they’re constantly stopping and starting. So you can use constant breaking to recharge your battery.

It's a fucking hazard. I rented a jeep this summer after my transfer case imploded on vacation and it did the exact same thing. Even worse it had that stupid fucking "stay in the line" bullshit so I'd be trying to move into a turn lane with the turn signal on and it would fight me. There is absolutely no scenario where a sub-400 hp should have ANYTHING that removes my personal control from the vehicle and even those should be limited to traction control only. It's a genuine safety hazard.

The chargers aren't the expensive part, retard. Where will the chargers plug into? You think every post office has a bank of outdoor 240v outlets wired up and ready to go? Enough for every delivery vehicle? What happens when they have to upgrade the electrical service because you've just quadrupled the power draw on the panel?

I just had my home panel upgraded from 100 to 200 amp and it cost almost $5k. Imagine how much it will cost to upgrade every post office to support charging 5-15 vehicles simultaneously. And it's a commercial/government building, so multiply the cost by 5x

I actually saw that in person a few months ago, it was neat.
