The ice cream truck

Mmmm... I wonder how many countries have the equivalent of an ice cream truck? While I'm sure I'm wrong, it somehow seems uniquely American—driving around selling ice cream to kids on the corner. No, no, don't walk to the ice cream shop kids... we'll just wait for a van to pull up that's loaded with goodies

My job often leaves me frozen,
I am a man that all should know,
But I do not do business in times of sleet or ice or snow.

I travel much on business,
But no reindeer haul me around,
I do all my traveling firmly on the ground.

I love the time of Christmas,
But that's not my vocational season,
And I assure that is because of a sound economic reason.

Who am I?

Mail man?

Ice cream man is the answer. Good one Modest.

Here's another:

I can be quick and then I'm deadly,
I am a rock, shell and bone medley.
If I was made into a man, I'd make people dream,
I gather in my millions by ocean, sea and stream.

Last night I was a qualifier in a contest to win a jeep wagoner that have been re-manufactured and tricked out, it was a dream for sure. I figure they put about $20,000 into it, 30 people had a chance to win it, I was #5 in line, #3 won it just my luck! I felt the whole day late a dollar short thing then for sure.

Ok savvy riddlers. Try this one...

Although it is neither big nor small, nor is it a liquid, solid or gas, it can be broken without being dropped. What is it?
