They said that starting off would be a call board driver covering summer vacations and any vacant routes. They did reiterate that it is a permanent full time position, local 710.
So USPS TTO is kind of like UPS feeder as in we start out with crappy pay. Around $22 an hour and capping at about $33 an hour but our progression is ten years so it’s considerably longer than UPS. We do have unlimited overtime for now however as we don’t have to abide by hours of service, time and a half after 8, double time after 10 and double time and a half after 12. I know guys who haven’t taken a day off since April. Or you can work only 40 as we have 8 hour protection.
A big thing with me is benefits. We are under the federal benefit program so we have a ton of choices and some great plans available but they aren’t cheap. Top tier medical/dental/vision cost me about $200 biweekly on top of 5% 401k and 4.4% pension payments.
What?
I'm not sure how far into progression you are but that doesn't sound bad. You do all local stuff and they contract out the long runs?
Is it true you guys don't pre-trip or post-trip because a mechanic does it for you?
Are all trailers loaded with the rolling carts or are they loaded floor to ceiling? I've always wondered if they are hauling around half empty trailers full of carts.

That's crazy that you guys are exempt from pretty much all the laws that the rest of the transportation industry has to abide by.USPS is the government . It’s an independent government agency like EPA or CIA. Most people think it’s a government owned entity like Amtrak but it isn’t.
