Re: [MBZ] Wagon overload, you asked for it..
Yeah I was amazed when I moved to Minnesota and first saw this - amazed that it's legal! I would sometimes, on my drive back from school, see a mail carrier doing about 60 down a curvy mountain road driving from the passenger seat.

Re: [MBZ] Wagon overload, you asked for it..
Yes, I am required to drive on the wrong side of the road to deliver papers. If I refused, I'd be fired. As for unsafe: I do it as safely as I can, unlike almost every other paper delivery drive I have ever seen - maniacs. The fact that they are paid by paper delivered, and not the hour adds to the problem. Brian On Jan 19, 2008 7:07 AM, Peter T.

Re: [MBZ] Wagon overload, you asked for it..
Nearly all of our mail carriers are contractors, and they drive a wide range of vehicles. For example: Jeep (regular) USPS auction mail carrier Jeep (the little white square things) RHD Subaru wagon (yes, you can buy them here) F150 Ford pickup I have to elaborate on the old Ford pickup - it's an aging F150 that's a real rustbucket, driven by a Hispanic woman who is very nice. It has an ingenious dual steering wheel setup with a dummy steering wheel on the right side that is coupled to the real steering wheel by a series of sprockets and chains, like a bicycle would use. A real marvel of backyard engineering, IMHO. I haven't seen what sort of pedal arrangement it has, mainly because the last time I saw her I was so amazed by the steering wheel setup I was engrossed with it and didn't bother looking at anything else.
