I mean, relative to what carriers used to drive in, which were effectively refrigerated death boxes, anything would be an improvement.

I don't know how they have stayed on the road as long as they have.

Seen some rural postmen have some shitboxes that are borderline yellowed from age

My partner was a carrier one year during the holidays when they have a crapton of Amazon packages to deliver. They have stories about sliding backwards down icy driveways.
