You know you would....

When my wife was carrying mail she had an S10 Blazer 4x4 that we had converted to drive on the right. You could drive from either side. The steering used a V-belt pulley and the pedals used a couple of bars that went across to operate the factory pedals. Worked well for about 3 years, then they gave her a mail truck and we sent the Blazer to salvage because it was wore slap out. Of course, if she'd have been in her Blazer when she had her accident she wouldn't now be crippled for life. Those mail trucks are dangerous and the seat belts are for show only.
 
Don't forget drive thrus. Either bring a passenger, learn to drive in reverse effectively, or get something with a bench seat
Rallys...two sided drive through ;)

That and usually we can't wait to get out of the damn truck.

There is an rural carrier in Arizona that drives his LHD truck from the right side, pretty impressive.

And yes, mail trucks are dangers. All aluminum, old and wore out. The seatbelt is functional if it's maintained but honestly most carriers don't red tag things like that for maintenance to fix. Damn shame.
