    I am amazed at how this is mostly not mentioned in more upvoter comments. If kei trucks were not outlawed in the US for having the driver see the road too well this wouldn’t exist, most likely

      Smaller trucks would make more sense and be better for the drivers aswell, though overall we’re marginally against same day/next day delivery. That way drivers and workers can take more time and not be rushed delivering things constantly

          Amazon offers it in nyc and it usually results a lot of their warehouse deliveries spilled across the sidewalks
