I noticed the other day that the mail carrier delivery vans don't have license plates. Anyone know why they might be exempt?

It has been said because it's a Govt. vehicle. But other Govt. vehicles have government license plates.

Hey today, yes this very day, is the birthday of the USPS! It's been around since 1775. So maybe because it is that old, they don't need plate. Rural mail carries do have plates on their vehicles though.

As a postal employee, I did ask this question before. As a division of the federal government, and having such a large fleet of vehicles that are uniquely identified as belonging to the postal service, the postal service's vehicle are self insured with what's called fleet insurance. Each vehicle has a unique number printed on the front and back near the top. That is the vehicle's registration number. They are exempt from paying registration and taxes as a federal division, but safety inspections are still required.

It could be because the are ferderally owned. the postal service first became the us postal service because they could not get any one company to deliver the mail, so the federal govt took over and it has been that way ever since. It could be that they are really a non profit organization and who else would want to drive those ugly vehicles. All of the ones in my area have tags, so it could be a state thing too. but you could call the po and ask them why. But look now everyone wants to deliver stuff, we now have fedex, ups, dhl, etc. they found out that there is money in delivering mail.

The vehicle ID is the number that is used. The US Postal Service is also self-insured meaning postal drivers do not need to provide proof of insurance.
You may also notice that some postal vehicles, cars etc. do have plates that say US government.

The absolutely free reverse vin check sites generally provide fake information. To get real information, money will have to be paid. The free searches provide fake information so they can get your email address to send spam.
Stay away from shady reverse vin check sites, most likely you won't get any information after you make the payment. Not to mention you won't get a report and you won't get an answer if you try to call for a refund. Stick with a reputable reverse vin check site like http://www.reversevincheck.net that has been around since 1995.

USPS is Federal government. They just use numbers on their vehicles for identification. I have a contracted mail carrier (not actually a government employee) and he drives his own car with regular State plates.

Probably because they are United States Government Vehicles there is some sort of ID on them.
