EXCELLENT!!
I thought Oshkosh was a clothier for children.
Did Oshkosh by gosh pay Biden up front? They must be pissed.
“Return to Sender”... Bwahahahaaa!!
Why didn’t a company that had experience building electric vehicles get the contract?
Does Biden have to give his 10% back?
I like driving up to the pump...filling up and paying....all in 5 minutes at the most.
And I don't worry about it bursting into flames while I'm asleep.
bttt
thank goodness ... i’ve been waiting for this cancellation ...
mail trucks take a beating, and there’s no one-off EVs would ever be able to stand up to the frequent starts and stops, gravel surfaces, cobblestones and potholes, hauling a payload of up to 2,000 lb (910 kg) for decades ...
the current trucks, the Grumman Long Life Vehicle (LLV), were put into service in 1986, with the last ones built in 1994, and have been in service for 40 years, lasting at least a decade longer than their maximum projected lifespan ...
my rural route carrier, a wonderful young Christian woman, was ecstatic when her unreliable, beat-to-krap LLV was recently replaced with a Mercedes van that has heat, AC, doors that work and the whole nine yards ...
Our shop has the contract to keep the local post offices 90’s era LLVs (Long Life Vehicles) running.
They should just order more of them, exactly as originally designed. Stupid easy to fix with readily available parts.
“”I am defunding this billion-dollar boondoggle to stamp out waste in Washington.””
HOW does she do that?
(In three years, the project has managed to deliver 93 out of 55,000 vehicles.)
WOW
How did Amazon get a fleet of ev delivery trucks and the USPS is still scratching their head?
One is a private business and the other is a government business
GREAT!
“internal sources revealed challenges ...”
“challenges”, “issues”, “headwinds” - three great euphemisms.
I wonder if the science gurus of the Biden Crime Family administration included the cost of installing charging stations at each post office facility? You know, those science gurus who failed second grade ‘see and say science’, failed their studies classes, and somehow got gubmit jobs. The same ones who spent billions for nationwide charging stations and managed to get one built?
Eff them, their families, their houses, their post cards, their clothing, and their chewing gum. And may the flies of a thousand camels fly into their Starbucks whatevers.
Hopefully also going after virtually all of any money given to them over 3 years...
Delivered 53 trucks out of the 55,000 ordered.
And those billions spent for building the arrays of EV charging stations were cut off by Trump——those stations were on the way./S
Washington Post, Mar 29, 2024 — President Biden’s $7.5 billion investment in EV charging has only produced 7 stations in two years ... he has long vowed to build 500,000....
A few years ago someone found that some Pony Express deliveries were faster than the current Postal Service does for the same places.
The excuse? Routes covered by the Pony Express were geographically limited and had smaller total items to deliver.
and couldn’t have been expanded to the whole country.
53 trucks and 7 EV charging stations.
Trump shut down that government juggernaut.
More winning. thanks Doge.
USPS has the largest fleet of vehicles in the U.S. They should operate on natural gas for about $2 a gallon less than gasoline.
