isnt it 1.5 yrs to make regular instead of 3 sir
@@cooltkll 2 years maximum to become PTF. Regular depends on availability
Management is a huge reason postal employees quit.
Yes but luckily most of our day we don't deal with management
Why is management like that?
@@krayziejerry good question
@@MailmanNicksame reason cops are assholes . Power trip.
@@krayziejerrybecause management especially those that are protected by union tend to have power trips and forget what it’s like not having a government shield.
Probation is my goal right now. I’m just starting, tomorrow will be my third day of academy and I finish academy on Monday. I’m in a good office with a lot of older people working so it’s a good time for me to hop in. I’m excited to get in there to finish my probation time. Glad I’m coming in now when it’s going to be progressively busy. I like getting thrown into the fire since I’ll always have work.
Your office must be really lucky to have you. Such a positive influence.
I can't stand negative people. Be the change you want to see
They quit because Management is toxic. Because they lie about route swing times and SO much more. They have no respect for the true work a carrier does. I know. I've been there.
In one ear out the other. Got to have thick skin
@MailmanNick carried much longer than you have. You ate wrong to assume. Any twenty year veteran has thick skin. Ans there is good reason why carriers are seeking the rights again to collective bargain for their own contracts. Your response speaks volumes about you, frankly. Maybe you are a 204B or close to management. Doesn't matter. The attrition rate at thr USPS speaks for itself. But you would likely say those who HAVE left (evennif they have worked many times longer in years than you) are thin skinned.

@@anonymousdogooder never said you had thin skin. Just smile and file
Literally don’t let the regulars intimidate you or get in your head..
Facts..!
Why are they like that?
I just gotta get through this 90 days. To be honest. I’ve been working so much doing full routes and pieces after, I kinda lost count how many days I’ve performed so far. Overall I feel like I’m going in the right direction.
this job is entirely too easy to quit on. As someone who started orientation at 308 lbs. and was terrified of failing at being able to handle the job as carrier,I’m down to 262 lbs. and I’m at day 64 of this new career. Yes,taking a piece from a regular on a daily basis gets annoying and Amazon Sundays are easy money,overall this job is easy
Once you know what you're doing it's easy money. Long days and walking routes kill your legs but definitely worth it.
I agree don’t give up. I’m at 7 months now. After the 90 days it gets easier. I was at about 288 lbs when I started. I am now don to 233 lbs. Nick is right when he says to set small goals.
@@MailmanNick not gonna lie,I love park n loops. I can’t stand dismounts,but a curbside route is awesome
Honestly I think the most difficult part for most people is the working six days a week, if not 7. If they could get properly staffed have an actual five day work week the turn over wouldn't be so bad. People can put up with the 12 hour plus days and all the other crap if they know they have to look forward too.
@@mith2946 5 12 hour days would be perfect. I'll still get my 60 with 2 days off
CCA Nick
Loving your videos brother, very informational. Given you a “THUMBS” UP.
I finished Academy and I Start Monday 9/19. Casing 18 letters and 8 flats my time first day 34min, Casing on the 4th day 1 min 13 sec. Academy was a lot of information in just 4 days, but so worth it. Your videos are so inspirational and helpful
Thank you
Bro .. i just made a video about this topic to be posted next week
Great minds think alike
One CCA I work with was 370 when he started and after 4 months he's down to 280. I am learning what I can while I'm doing the CCA job. I get sent out a lot and while a lot of us get pissed off about it, I look at it as a learning experience. Everyone stay safe out there.
You got the right idea. Small goals, constant reminders and what not. Achievable and measurable
Man these videos are helping me see the bigger picture... I've been at my station about 3 weeks now and they had me on 2 routes today. I was thinking in my head I can milk some time and get it done at a lighter pace but I want to show people at the office I'm reliable. These videos are really helpful it's like were on the same page. Trying to get back to cooking, eating right and hitting the gym with this schedule, but its a grind and its not gonna be easy that's for sure!
It just takes some discipline it can be done
Do you have any tips for what to bring for lunch and snacks while on the road?
@@CupcakeCocktail I bring stuff like granola bars, a meal in Tupperware. Nothing too crazy or greasy because I don't have time to go to the bathroom for long lol.
@@CupcakeCocktail I always bring a lot of water(at least 4 bottles) and granola bars and oranges work best for me because I can eat them quick and keep going. A sandwich wouldn’t hurt but I’m learning you need to eat since you are burning so many calories. Good luck!
It's funny because you were right about the laziness these days. Over in my metropolitan area they are so desperate for carriers that they hire people as PTFs from the start. There was this one youngster, about 18-21, in our academy. He arrived sloppily dressed, spent one day in the academy sleeping the whole time, paid no attention to anybody or anything, then quit the next day. He claimed he caught the virus, but I think he was just too embarassed to admit the real reason why he quit. Oh well.
i always say a paper and a pencil is the best tool for getting anything accomplished. i feel like people should have it with them at all times
Facts I always carry a pen and paper
Great for you, bring young and single. I was CCA earlier this year - the hard work and low pay wasn't why I left. I liked the job actually. The killer for me was one thing -no days off. Or, rather, 2 days off a month. I have a family. Also, I'm more middle aged and the final pay off to better would be closer to retirement time!! Weekends off, I'd still be there.
I'm gonna make $80k this year, it's not low pay. I do date but if I was in a serious relationship nothing would change. But the only a few days off a month is usually a deal breaker for most people.
Making $80,000 after working your life away and having only 2 days off a month is NOT good money…there are jobs that pay $120,000 and you work from home and only work 40 hours / week LOL
How is it now?
I enjoy being a letter carrier but hate being a CCA 😂
i feel attacked! Lol, wasnt for me but love & respect to those that keep at it though!
It's not for everyone you'll find something else everyone is hiring right now
B! U ain’t mma! 😂😂😂
Not anymore I'm retired
Management management management
Screw management. Just ignore them and do you. Follow all the rules, they can’t do crap. They just love to intimidate to get their numbers to impress those upper management that know nothing about what we deal with.
Absolutely. Management is a nightmare.
@@ventb1305 Yup, I just ignore them and always take my sweet time on my route lol!
Well nick if the usps was up front and told people they will work you 13h/6d they know what up!
When I did fingerprints they were pretty honest with me about the hours
Are you regular now?
Yes
Just found this out Article 41.2.B.3 filing that grievance when I get back read the JCAM people….CCA's five-day break in service between 360-day terms does not end
an opt (hold-down). A five-day break in service can only create another
opt (hold-down) opportunity if it creates a vacancy of five workdays. In
such case the opt is for the five day period of the break.
Yes. I didn't lose my hold down last year. You could have asked me
Do CCA get anything for paternity leave?
@@Tajjahan1994 that I'm not sure about I'm sure they do
Hey nick. Check out flavcity on UA-cam. He is the king on organic foods and an overall healthy lifestyle
I will I love organic food
I am starting ARC in September first Saturday I am excited because I hear it is hard work but great money. I also heard it is only Sundays and Saturdays anyway to get more days for the week I really want to be earning as much as I can
It's the easiest job in the world my bro does it. Easy money
Awesome I saw a few videos of ppl complaining about it to the point of them regretting their decision To work but all I saw was they got a lot of hours and big checks at the end of the 2 weeks
@@Fatboy50005 ARC only work Sundays and holidays. RCA's are the ones who work as much as CCA's
I see but once I am in eventually I can also move up right? May not be soon but in due time right?
@@Fatboy50005 you can move up if you switch that craft yes
It's easy for you bro in Midwest rent is cheaper than here on east coast , maybe also living with parents and saving money, here in NJ 1 bedroom $1300 and up
Damn that's my mortgage payment 2 bedroom with loft and finished basement. I could never live in the city of Chicago let alone NJ, California, New York, ect.
I mean reason why I said this is people here on east coast giving up one of the reason cause with $19 as CCA is hard to survive, but also another reason is because of menagment , I am now clerk became regular after 8 months , but I miss being outside as Carrier , there is pros and cons being CCA /carrier
@@MailmanNick how hard is to get a transfer as regular ? I have to stay at this office for a year ? Wanna move from high coast rent lol
@@MailmanNick full support for your positive CCA Carrier UA-cam channel , we need more positive voices to give support to hard working carriers !!!!! We need people to stay at company and work , this is great company !!!!it’s not easy but is worthy at the end of the day .
@@bojan80 I think 18 months but don't quote me and both postmasters have to agree
I'm starting soon and it's nice to see someone being positive about this. The more I look into it, the more I'm somewhat panicking lol. I dont know if it makes it better or worse going to a smaller beach town (that gets busy in the summer.)
It's stressful like any other job. People just like to complain. Management is bad every job. The elements can suck. It is what it is
As a first day RCA, what kinda benefits do I get?
Beside lots of hours? Bus driver jobs are offering full benefits first day but I like the USPS Statu
Not sure about rural. CCA you get health, dental
I am CCA who only worked 4 sundays in the last 30 days and I still havent given up
CCA's work every Sunday for the most part
@@MailmanNick yeah. Would be nice to learn new routes. Unfortunately after I moved to this new office because they needed a CCA apparently they hired on 12 more after me. So now we are at 25 ccas at this office.
@@GamingDaily that's ridiculous
@@GamingDaily that’s insane we have like 12
@@GamingDaily 25??? We have 4 lol, ever since I started working I’ve been on the same route for 3 weeks
i was just hired as an rca. i’m so nervous that it’s going to be too hard. any advice?
Do research, pay attention to the weather, wear the right clothes
I just love seeing these type of videos... All you see on here is negative stuff and people complaining about the work load I feel like if you want it you can make it. I started last week and I will take on anything they ask of my as a learning experience.
Thank you! I just started last Saturday and it’s been good. Hard work, but good! Thank you!
What city are you in? Could you have went to a bigger office, where you could become regular faster?
South of Chicago
Hey, Nick. This may be a long shot but do you ever take time to chat with people one on one?
On instagram but I'm a busy person I'll get back to you when I can
Great video! I love this perspective!!!
Honest answer, do you see new hire ccs's like in thier 50s being able to start this as a career?
We have a man in his 50's on the RCA side. If you can handle the physical
Thank you for the video started shadow at the office today
I'd probably still be there if not for the sudden transfer to a new and understaffed office after three weeks. They prepared me for a lot, but they didn't prepare me for that. It was like starting a new job right when I was getting used to everything.
If management treats me like trash I’m walking
They usually do but luckily we are on the street most of the day
Thanks for the words of motivation. Always appreciate it sir!
took my first bit of leave for this weekend! Just gotta hang in there until we make regular….i treat this almost like an apprenticeship. Gotta pay your dues & then will appreciate the sundays off & NS days during week!
Exactly what it is. We will be journeymen soon
That new CCA prob see you as a Celebrity lol
Lmao
Whats up nick im in hiring process for rca, can rca’s drive company vehicles to deliver or is that just cca ?
Depends on the office
@@MailmanNick appreciate it
👊🏻👽 Motivational, thank you
Great advice. But my weight loss is kicking me. Can’t keep weight on. My end goal is trying to make it to the craft and desired location. Keep on grinding. And trying to keep a steady sleeping habit. Green tea helps!!!
I feel you on the weight loss I'm trying to put weight back on as well. Slowly building back the muscle I had before this job.
You are definitely an inspiration! I’m a new PSE and I’m in Automations and they have been working me like crazy but I know conversion is on the Horizon. Side note, the Elkhart Indiana office has 9 vacant routes and 1 CCA and they are a huge office so if you know anyone wanting to relocate let them know 😂
Lol if it wasn't a far drive I'd apply there
@@MailmanNick yea I know what you mean. They need people really bad 😅.
@@BloodElfB I'm close to the dyer/Munster area
@@MailmanNick oh yea that is a ways away. But yea hopefully they do get some transfers or applicants that can relocate cause just doesn’t seem like people in the area are interested. Who knows. My fiancé and a few friends are regulars there so I hear about how bad it is a lot. But CCAs convert barely out of their 90 days so that’s a plus for whoever does end up there.
@@BloodElfB maybe I should look for houses out there
Thank you, Nick.
Question? I just received a letter stating change of position and that I'm now a CCA2. What does that mean?
Im not exactly sure. Is the pay rate different?
After your break in service you get a raise I just saw your previous comment
Hey man can you make a video about how to pull from 3 trays while delivering the mail.... DPS, FLATS, and Spurs & packages? Bro i think I'm over thinking it. I keep coming back to the same addresses when I'm delivering. BTW I've only been delivering mail for a week. They had all the new CCAs delivering only package's because we were understaffed for our first 60 days.
For example, when I'm following int the DPS sometimes the street from my FLATS won't match the DPS and then i panic and end up making a wrong turn and end up coming back to the same addresses. Please don't judge me because tmy office sucks at training new hires. But i love my job so far but i just want to get better and stop messing up on my routes.
I'm kinda glad I'm not CCA for reason like the way you guys case. I'm RCA and bumped someone who did curbside route and flats, dps and sprs were all separate. Took way to long to follow lol. I case it all when doing curbside and put markers if there's a big package for a house.
@@mrdingles5107 I like your idea. Might try it.
@@Eagle0watch7dv I've only been at post office for 6 months or so but definitely hate casing and slow at it but definitely less stressful when on the street with curbside if I'm not having to constantly pay attention for 4 different piles of things lol. Maybe it's a habit people get used too but for me, I constantly forgot street numbers and names to be paying attention with different piles.
@@mrdingles5107 same here
Hey Nick anyone resigned from their position and came back to your office ? I want to go back and im still on liteblue i recently resigned last month and regret it.
If you resigned the right way you can come back for sure
@@MailmanNick you think talk the postmaster or wait for a position to be available on job search would be best ?
@@slimsyparfaits5493 do both then she will be on the lookout for your name
Nick, any advice on dating a CCA? My guy has been stuck as a CCA for 5 years now. In 5 months we've only been able to spend 3 days together because of his crazy working hours and days. Any advice?
He doesn't get one day off? I get 1 a week and will usually let the girl know in advance I'm available this day for this long. Or tell him to invite you over to cook dinner with each other after a long day. Even after 12 hours I still have time to cook and shower. I should make a video about this topic but not sure if people will watch
@@MailmanNick I should have mentioned that we live 2 hours away from each other, lol. I wish you much happiness, Nick!
@@laurafarsi2420 2 hours is rough. If I can't physically be with a girl there's no point in progressing things further. That's my opinion.
💯
Hey my union reps recently stepped down and now we have nobody, I feel like I would like to keep my money so how would I go about changing that so I don’t pay dues?
Talk to your union office
@@MailmanNick might be taking a complete 180 on this and taking the position myself, i remember your videos about becoming steward any advice for someone thinking about it?
@@ELCAPITRUCH0 don't do it it's not worth it
Don't leave your union. So many workers wish they had a union...!!!
What turns alot of people away from what I always hear is the first 2 years working 6 days a week tons of over time and just hoping and waiting to make regular. Unless you're single and have no obligations to anyone like being in a relationship or taking care of family you really can't deal with the post office use and abuse you til you make regular
If you have a family I think you'd want to work even more to support your family but I agree the cca apprenticeship some people don't want to fight thru it.
I’m a CCA and yes I agree I have a family and the more hours they give me the better.The bigger the family the more bills I have to pay.
@@GrupoEminencia got a family as well. I want ot forsure just hope I get most sundays off to at least have 1 day for the family. Start orientation this sat
Sorry i give up on days 51, and go back to my job make 3x more, just try USPS not working for me .
If you're making 3x more at your old job why did you come to the post office?

I was an ARC and still on probation 5/25/22 thru 9/6/22. I voluntarily resigned to avoid termination (suggested by supervisor). No one was injured and there was minor damage to vehicle. I am so devastated, depressed that I no longer have my job. What are the chances of me getting back on? Any thoughts?
Meant to say I had a roll away.
If you resigned you can reapply
Do you think my chances of being re-hired are low b/c of the rollaway?
@@Jessica-fu6zv I don't think so if you resigned the right way you should be able to reapply
Thank u so much.
My goal is no more dog bites. I knocked on a door for a signature and when it opened a pit bull came charging out. I used the mail to fend him off, but he chomped down and got a piece of my thumb. The owner got him back in, but it was scary as f. I’m ok, but it really shook me up.
Don't chance it they can pick up their mail from now on
Try finding a rich suburb to work in, there's guys who haven't been bit a single time their whole career and they've been there 12-15 years.
@@aa-bq5pe The pit bull that got me actually lives at fairly expensive house. You’re right, though. The dumpy areas are more dangerous.
Pit bulls are the worst. People need to keep their ugly rabid mutts inside
I’m working at usps for 7 months, and definitely I don’t recommend this job, is really hard, a lot of work, that doesn’t pay off, at least in California, is not a lot of money, and you put your health on risk, without benefits for 2 years, im married and I have a lot of problems because I’m always working, I get home tired and moody, and trying to negotiate a day off with management is a nightmare. If you call sick they put you in a nasty rout the next day, love you nick but that is the real world at usps
It's not worth it in places like California I could never live in that state. Do what's best for you. UPS is a good alternative
@@MailmanNick California weather rocks though...I see the Midwest and south weather...NO THANKS!!!
Sound like a complainer
I het routes done and at or nefore the regulars. That has raised my confidence bigtime. I used to worry if i was going to be able to get routes done. Realized just got to get reps in. Good video bro
The regulars milk their route and don’t give a crap if management gives them crap. You’ll learn to not care either what management tells you. If you’re part of the union, learn your rights to always be ready to punish management if agreements are broken.
It is not because we give up, I was discriminated against for being Mexican in a large base in West Virginia, maybe you will not pay attention to this message, but other things count as discrimination, and not only me, many people were run from my generation. I entered this company to be able to have a long career but also the managers are the ones who don't care about anything or anyone the person who was in charge of the union at that base don't support anything my worst experience of my life now I'm working in a company road construction and they pay me much better than what some regulars earn in usps maybe you won't have the same luck as me keep advancing maybe you have better managers
Management sucks everywhere luckily I'm on the street most of my day
And I was just saying in general people give up on their goals
How they discriminate? What they do?
The casing is the hard part
That's why I'm not rural
@@MailmanNick don't City do it
