Correct me if im wrong but last I had heard was USPS had degovernised making it a private company but the mail is still gov regulated.

I've heard USPS trucks using this freq in New Jersey, picking them up 
well north of NYC...

I don't know where you are located, but 164.8125 - DCS245 is a fairly new  
Postal Repeater in the NY/NJ area and is used by Postal trucks. The base answers 
 to "Metro". Could be they use it as a "road" frequency as well with a PL  
tone. Trucks in NYC use 168.350 and in NJ, 165.05 as road frequencies. The  
discussions make for interesting listening, and it usually isn't about the  
traffic!

   It is USPS trucks.  USPS appears to be using this as a new frequency 
for vehicle mail delivery/collection activity.  A few years ago USPS 
installed a repeater near me in Petersburg, Va. on this frequency, pl 
203.5.  Infrequent comms basically are to local small size mail 
collection trucks.
