Japan Post minivehicles to be halted over improper roll calls

To cope with the sharp decrease in available vehicles, Japan Post is expected to increase the outsourcing of pickup and delivery operations.

In June, the ministry revoked the company’s general truck transport business license over the scandal, barring it from operating trucks for five years.

Japan Post announced in April that roll calls for mandatory alcohol and health checks of its delivery drivers had been conducted inappropriately at around 2,400 post offices.
