Rural Mail Talk

Just took over a route that has been vacant for the last 8 months or so. Not only vacant but was being delivered by the postmaster most days. The postmaster was not logging into the scanner as a rural carrier and not sure if they were doing all the required rrecs scans. How will this effect the upcoming evaluation? By the time the MMS ends, I will have been doing the route for 4 weeks. The route will have been run by a rural carrier approx 4 months out of the last year.

The new duck trucks are such a POS, the door is like 40 lbs..opening and closing it is gonna throw your rotator cuff at some point. the AC? what a joke! closing the middle door turning in the fan it’s 97 inside, it’s just a full dust ball like 4 inches of dust per day no matter what you do. The left window doesn’t even roll down it’s permanent just a window the only nice thing about it is the room.. other then that it’s trash. I absolutely hate this truck!

Once I am ready to leave… depart to route I get back from the full route delivering all but the big packages…….. return to delivery unit Do all my end of shift duties that I can then... Read more
