Wonder if they had moved the carriers start time back recently. Yet another reason the USPS needs to address the safety concerns of delivering mail in the dark. There have been multiple assaults on carriers delivering after dark in the last 2 months as well. Visibility in these vehicles is AWFUL in the dark. The windows are flat and create tons of glare. They are also usually pretty dirty due to all of the paper dust inside the truck, let alone the dirt on the outside of the windows. Congress needs to remove the head idiot in charge at the USPS as well.
