Rural carriers to get right-hand-drive vehicles
The USPS Board of Governors recently agreed to purchase 3,120 minivans to replace some of its right-hand-drive vehicles in urban areas. USPS has awarded a contract for the minivans to DaimlerChrysler Motors to supply the vehicles by Nov. 30, this year.
This is the second phase of a plan to provide additional postal-owned vehicles to rural carriers. In 2002, the Board approved the purchase of 6,240 minivans for city carriers, with the residual right-hand drive vehicles being transferred for rural carrier use.
The Postal Service has committed to sending 15,000 right-hand-drive vehicles — some of them already part of the urban fleet — to rural carriers by 2008.
