You are implying that shipping docks will be manned all night long in this scenario. Or that residential or postal workers will want to try to deliver in the dark. There are very real downsides to tripping around in the night, and 3rd shift work is bad for health.
When I was delivering furniture in the 80's I often chose to do the travel (as opposed to delivery) at night to avoid the danger and boredom of gridlock. But I would definitely not have enjoyed invading customers driveways and landscape at night. I think residential night delivery is not a good idea. Night delivery isn't a totally bad idea, but it might be hard to work out the logistics. Over the road is already a nighttime operation for many. <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Thu, Jan 4, 2018 at 10:50 AM, John Lussmyer via EV <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu Jan 04 07:41:44 PST 2018 [email protected] said: > >Mail at night! > >I suspect that in 20 years, the post office, UPS and Amazon and all long > >haul trucking and deliveries will all be at night.
