  • This was taken when I was a mailman around 2014. I was a mailman for 6 years, 2 as cca then became a regular. If you're thinking about working for the USPS, I would recommend staying away from postal jobs.

    On the bright side, I hear more complaints about amazon, where I used to work, than I do USPS. Given where I'm coming from, USPS should be much better probably. I can also use the experience to begin a medical transport job or something better paying like that.

    This kind of box system should be implemented in the US. The amount of time wasted going door-to-door makes no actual sense. The chronic understaffing and financial issues all point to finding a better way of delivering mail. Every street should have mailboxes grouped.

    lmao that scanner is like 10 years old. Those things are so slow. We used to get yelled at for blinding smashing "enter enter enter" because it would take 20 seconds for each screen prompt to load. Often times you're scanning the wrong bar code and not even realizing it because you're not looking at your screen and making sure the numbers match.
    And it wouldn't scan shit. Most barcodes you had to hand type in the 20 digit number. So frustrating!!! Especially when the numbers are smeared from the rain or wrinkled over so you can't tell if you're seeing a 4 or a 7.
    But the GPS scanners suck too. SO much big brothering. It's like a nagging wife that has nothing to add to actually help you get your job done. So I suppose it's a trade off. Either a slap in the face or a kick in the ass. You pick. :P

      Started a business a year before I resign. Most people probably 99 percents of usps workers are afraid that theres nothing out there and they feel that the pay is great for being a usps employee, but to me, the post office is a very NEGATIVE environment which slowly kills your mind and effect your daily life. If u hate waking up and going to work, don't be afraid to quit and find a passion or something that will excite you to wake up everyday looking forward on. We only have a short time in this world by the time you know it, your dead and spent half of your life being a usps worker. Just ask yourself, when you were growing up, did you dream of becoming a usps mail man? lol. We are in a great time at the moment where theres so much money going around, but you have to know where to look :). Go find your passion bro

      I understand the fear too. To me it hasn't up to a point where I really wanna quit but with the pay, I don't really see a bright future so I'm trying to establish something on the side so eventually I don't have to rely on them. But rather keep the benefits lol

You probably make more money starting off as a cca than once you initially convert to regular because of all the overtime you work. Some offices might be better than others but the one im currently at is so short staffed im usually having to do a full route than a piece off another one and can always expect to get called on my days off to see if I want to come in and run a route. Thankfully im past my probabation and can tell supervision to piss off or just not answer the phone lol.

    My wife works at the North Regional District Office and points out all the mistakes that you are doing in your video. 1. Not wearing your seat belt (shoulder/waist) while the LLV is in motion. 2. having the LLV door open while the LLV is in motion. 3.Not wearing your satchel. 4. where is your Halt dog spray. She is surprised that you were in the USPS for the 6 years and never been caught from your boss. Perhaps you were and you were terminated from the USPS. You were a terrible Letter Carrier and role model for the USPS. Good Luck in whatever you're doing now!

      The only point you actually have is not wearing his seatbelt. You are allowed to drive with the door open as long as you don't go through an intersection. He also had no need for a satchel. Thats a rule that isn't enforced at all. And the dog spray complaint is another thing that never gets questioned by a supervisor.

      Well to give points to this guy, where and how he was delivering the mail, there was no need to be too concern about dogs and having to close the LLV door since he was in/out most of the time at each stop. I would be more concern IF he was doing park and loop and leaving the door open. Other than that, he seems disorganized.
