Right now I am debating between purchasing a 4 door Toyota Tacoma with a camper shell or a Subaru Forester, but am open to consider anything. I want to put a right hand drive kit in it, so I am limited to vehicles on this list: http://postalthings.com/vehicle-list

Comedy option: 2001-2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser


(sorry, I have no sensible ideas)

Really? Even in Canada the most of our carriers are contract with their own vehicles, including rural routes.
Dodge minivans curiously seem to be very popular, I think they get a deal or something on them.

Still seems bizarre to me as a Brit that you guys don't get the vehicles supplied by the company.

At the very least, I'd have thought the postal service would have great bulk buying power and would allow the carriers to take advantage of that.
Though that doesn't always work out well:

It's just drivers on rural routes that buy their own vehicles, I'm pretty sure.



This guy had a round with only 20 houses in it and he got a company van.


Serious note; it's pretty cool that you love your job. it;s such a rare sentiment these days
