Best Answer

A Postal Carrier is a Mailman. They used the Jeep DJ-5 right hand drive up until the introduction of the LLV built by Grumman Aircraft Corporation in the late 80s. That vehicle, designated LLV which stands for Long Life Vehicle entered service in 1987. It is no longer in production but most of the over 100,000 delivered are still running today. Built on a Chevy S-10 Chassis modified to accept the all aluminum body the right hand drive vehicle is power by the GM 2.5 Liter 4 cylinder specifically designed for mail delivery. They are expected to last up to 30 years.
