[QUOTE="rod, post: 3079340, member: 5382"] As far as I know the rural carriers around here are private parties who bid on the routes. Once every 5 years the PO puts the routes up for bid. If you say you can deliver Rural Route 6 for a thousand a week and you are the low bidder -- you have a route. They all drive their own vehicles. I'm not sure if they get mileage pay or what. My mail lady likes to meet another carrier for lunch and sometimes they get into the pull tabs (so I've heard) and we don't get out mail until like 6 at night. Saturdays we have a different carrier and the mail is here by 2 p.m. Personally I don't care when it comes--all we get is junk mail anyway. They could go to 3 day a week mail service and it wouldn't bother me. [/QUOTE]
