[QUOTE="TG43, post: 3488247, member: 49675"] I used to be a city letter carrier for USPS. Now tcd at UPS. In my experience, being a city carrier at USPS was way easier than being a UPS driver. I'm not saying being a letter carrier is easy, it for sure isn't. The big thing to me is how late you work. Letter carriers here get done around 4:00. I'm often way later than that as a UPS driver. I hate working in the dark. The impact on legs and knees is way more at UPS carrying heavy stuff. Everyone is different, you might like UPS. USPS Rural Carrier is where it's at!....they have a different union...they get paid by the day...often done by 1:30. In other words, they work 6-7 hours but get paid 8, except for peak of course they might work more than 8. As a City Carrier you can get on an 8-hour list and not work over 8 hours a day. That would be sweet. At UPS it's 9.5. Or Two lousy 8-hour days a month which aren't even 8 hours, they're 8.5. Big negative at USPS is you will work most Saturdays of course. [/QUOTE]
