Hello, yours was the first video that actually had something positive to say to people. So many of the others out there are really negative and do nothing but bash the USPS. I can see why, because they have NO work ethics. I retired last year after 47 years as a letter carrier, 45 of those years in Las Vegas. I was also a Classroom Instructor and OJI and shared with new hires, that there are 2 words when you're working at any job; Pride and Integrity! How much Pride and how much Intergrity do you have in doing a job.
There's so much more I can say, but don't want to take your time. Good Luck with your career.

Im a regular in NYC and when ppl ask me about being a mailman i always say the same thing. You're gonna be a slave, working 6 days a week until you turn regular (which takes 2 years in NYC) but after your turn regular, you're

I converted to PTF last month and I’m next in line to become regular! I love my job!

[shannonk.]

I'm about to make PTF. I also am the only CCA at my office; several were hired after me and either got fired or quit. I have always been a hard worker and worked long hours in previous occupations, and worked weekends so I was used to it. I have found that this job is not for everyone; you basically have to commit to working a possible 12 hour day each and every day and up to 11 days straight. Love the. job; I wouldn't trade it for anything. Once I make PTF I won't work Sundays anymore. All and all, if you can put up with this stuff for the first few years and pay your dues, you're good. Everyone stay safe out there.

I’d like to thank you so much for your video talking about your experience during your start. I have my orientation on Monday and am pretty nervous, but your video helped to calm me down. Thank you!

HOLD IT DOWN FELLOW MAIL CARRIER!!! REGULAR IN PA SINCE SEPTEMBER 24TH 2022!

I was a city carrier from 1994 until 2019. Back in the 'good old days', we started out as PTF, (Part Time Flexible), we had pretty much the same benefits as a career employee, but there were no 'guaranteed' hours...however, the first 6 years I worked basically 7 days a week. Back then, we measured mail by the foot! 12 feet of flats was a normal day! This was pre-DPS days. I'm now a Driver's Safety Instructor, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. 5 days a week, Monday through Friday. Took me 24 years to get a Mon-Fri job. I'm pushing for a 1/2 day, 'refresher' driver's course 6-8 months in. I know the new folks get much thrown at them in the first 3-4 weeks, that a lot of it goes in one ear and out the other. I think the driving part is the most important, so a 1/2 day refresher would help immensely in my opinion. I see way too many carriers driving around with their door open, or the shoulder strap not connected...getting out of the truck without turning the ignition off...lazy things like that.
Drive safe, be safe, it still is a good career.

Love the information. I start orientation in a week. Just nervous. Wondering if I’m too old. I’m 53 in pretty good health no issues there. I stay very active. Any thoughts on a older cca coming on

1. Don't pick RCA cause Dejoy cutting everything
2. Don't expect benefits until 4-10 yr later
3. Don't become a regular until 4-10 yr later so don't expect to just have 1 route
5. DO expect to be on call every single day!
6. Do expect kick offs, your route plus a half of another route
7. DO expect shitty coworkers and regulars cry
8. DO expect to not have much of a life until you become a regular
9. DO expect to be frustrated, tired, and numb by the end of the week

Started in 2014 as a CCA. Worked the position for a year and a half and then transitioned to the Department of Defense. Being a CCA will make you appreciative of other opportunities you get later. Weather was always a concern since I was at a post office where 90% of the routes were walking routes. I was absolutely going to be too hot or too cold never in between. The duty day was unpredictable. I never knew what time my day would end. If I finished a route early, being sent to help others at my post office was the norm. There were more than a few times that I would get sent to another post office to assist them since it is cheaper to pay the low paid CCA. Amazon deliveries on Sundays were the norm before Amazon got its own fleet of vehicles. Never was I so happy to change jobs. I met a lot of great people who I am still friends with to this day.

I just got my first shadow day last week, I am doing another tomorrow. I use to be a truck driver and I am currently on SSI for knee problems. I know CCA is very physically demanding. Supervisor already knows I may wanna be a Clerk for window. Which is fine I got 12 years of experience with customers. I am just worried I am wasting time going to the academy if I want to be Clerk. Maybe they will help me transition there? I know my Union rep said talk to the president there which is my plan. Cuz I want this to be career. Tired of being on SSI and not feeling accomplished. I want to do something but know my health is taken care of to. CCA May be rough on degenerative join disease. So I will see what I can do.

[abelbojorquez]

Do you get benefits after 90 days? Just completed the probationary period. If so, how do i go about using it? I need to go to the Dr. Will i a card? Do i just tell them? Can someone please shed some light.

[liangxuanwang]
