FedEx itself does not own any delivery trucks.
USPS, not sure about bigger rigs, but 99%sure the LLV does not have air, just a dash mounted fan.
Actually, Fedex Ground (the word "Ex" in green) is the independent contractors driving trucks that are not owned by Fedex. Home Delivery is also run by Fedex Ground.
Fedex Express (the word "Ex" in orange) is Fedex employees driving Fedex-owned trucks.
