Postal Service Faces Fuel Shortage and Delivery Strains
Klassen warned the Postal Service may struggle to meet demand as a fuel shortage hits 224,000 vehicles and 176 air taxis, with airlines cutting 14,000 commercial flights monthly. Despite delays, he expects a record 1973 performance due to manpower rising to 700,000, improved conditions, automation, and early mailing surges. Standby military help could be deployed if needed.
