CF, they won't be doing exactly the same thing, the way I understand it. It's said to be
strictly RESIDENTIAL (P&D). So until they grow significant density, It'll be a pretty cushy gig. More riding around. Relatively few stops.
As for endorsements... Let not forget, the actual Petes being purchased, do have placard racks.
Even though they are saying pickups will be limited to residential, I have serious doubts about the reality of that. For one, there are so few residential pickups. Also, there are many commercial locations that can easily be loaded from the ground. I'd bet good money that dispatch will find it impossible to resist the opportunity to scoop up a couple on the way in... Same for an occasional tailgate delivery, on the way out. Anyone want to take that bet?
