Josh's new truck

Josh, Elizabeth's boyfriend, has a part time job delivering the mail. His route is about 500 rural mailboxes and covers about 100 miles of country road. So, he's getting a little truck to deliver the mail in.

I got to thinking, though, wondering how he's going to carry that much mail in the cab of the truck. I wonder if he's also going to get a camper shell or some kind of truck rack to put on it so he can have the sorted mail in the proper order and still have room to maneuver as he drives.

I'm sure he can't just throw it in the back, even in the containers he uses. Weather like we've had the past few days would get the mail all wet and soggy. So he's going to need something to keep the rain, and eventually snow and ice, off the mail as he makes his rounds. It could be that a rack with a cover or tarp on it would work out just fine since he doesn't get to drive very fast and there are a lot of stops.
