Miami-Dade Police said the truck was found in the 11600 block of Southwest 141st Street after the driver fled and bailed out then ran from the scene.
Officers found stolen mail inside the truck and notified U.S. Postal Service Police, who are also investigating.
A perimeter was set up in the neighborhood but no arrests were made, officials said.

USPS officials said the U-Haul was not used to deliver mail and the person involved was reported to be stealing mail from homes in the area.
A Ring doorbell camera captured the suspect, who appeared to be a woman, swiping a package from a front porch before fleeing in the truck.

Homeowner Mateo Andrade said the box she stole contained a pair of shoes his mom had ordered.
"So the person drove up, in a U-Haul truck, and she got like really close to the door and she got out and stole a package from my doorstep," Andrade said. "Yeah, that’s crazy."
No information was released on the person involved. Anyone with information is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
