Last Mile Delivery, an Opportunity for Teens
4 min readFeb 7, 2020
Benjamin Franklin, a founding father of the United States, was an inventor, philosopher, scientist, statesman and has been said to be the first paperboy delivering his brother’s New England Courant in 1721 when he was 15. Ben Franklin was also the first Postmaster General of the United States Postal Service in 1775. Due to these two distinctions, I believe that Ben Franklin is the pioneer and father of last mile delivery (def. delivery to your home or business).
