Mail truck !!! The reason being it is part of the Federal Gov. I would definitely say that the ambulance and fire truck have the right of way, if they are going to an emergency or transporting a person to the hospital.
Very extensive discussion with citations and references at:

You need to get out of their way, pulling over to the right, off of the side of the road (if possible) and stopping.
When an emergency vehicle with activated lights and sirens is approaching from behind on a two-way roadway a driver must?
move to a lane not adjacent to emergency vehicle and pass with caution
When an emergency vehicle approaches should you stop immediately wherever you are on the road?
No! The most important thing is to make room for it to safely pass you. Do this by moving to the right or left, depending on the rules of the road in the country concerned, stopping if approaching an intersection, or if otherwise needed for safety. If the emergency vehicle is in a lane to your left and is unimpeded there is no reason to stop or move to the right unless other traffic might get in its way. If the emergency vehicle is stopped on the shoulder, you should safely move to the left or right and SLOW DOWN until you have passed! Stopping where you are can block traffic, preventing the progress of the emergency vehicle.
If you can see an emergency vehicle with flashing lights ahead?
Turn on your flashers to help the emergency vehicle. If the emergency vehicle is moving and has a siren running, pull over to the side of the road.
What should you do if you are being overtaken by an emergency vehicle fire truck police car or ambulance flashing its emergency lights?
If your country normally drives on the right side of the road then you should pull over to the right as far as your safely can and come to a complete stop If your country normally drives on the left hand side of the road (England, Japan, Australia etc.) then you pull over as far as you safely can to the left and come to a complete stop.
