MO Postal Worker's Death on Route Blamed on Heat Exhaustion

[kickysnana]

35. We are on a truck business mail van route. He goes to the bank next door and then here.

We are a low income seniors building in a business area with regular housing a block behind us and when I moved in the majority of residents were 80-102. Lots of package delivery.

The bigger packages seem to come in a separate delivery here with things book size delivered by our regular carrier. I don't know all the ins and outs only how it works in this building now.

I cannot change the postal system from here and my father-in-law could not change it from inside first as a mail train sorter and then as a main post office sorter. So I am not sure how to answer you but I think you are probably right, I would not do this on a walking route. I have lived in the suburbs with van to mailbox delivery for half my life (beginning and now) and in the city to door with walking routes (married with kids years). Our mail carrier in the city delivered from a van also a block at a time in the city. Large packages he would pull up to the house, we were on a hill, so he would come up in the driveway, after the regular delivery with that package maybe a few times a year.
