3. What is this USPS fleet of vehicles?

Our mail carriers provide their own vehicles, usually run-down SUVs. If they do get a maintenance allowance, it's not enough. I can't tell you how much oil our mail carrier has dripped on my driveway. He said he knows and is sorry, but they won't help him fix it. I have never seen a USPS vehicle anywhere near our neighborhood. Why is that?

We have noticed that since about late November, the mail is excruciatingly slow, if it comes at all. Packages never show up when they're supposed to. We didn't even get our mail yesterday. I subscribe to USPS Informed Delivery, and nothing it said would be coming yesterday actually arrived. Despite that, it also says nothing will be delivered today. I suspect the mail carrier's vehicle broke down again and maybe someone will bring yesterday's mail today.
