not saying you should have to walk through ice and deep snow but geez getting out of the truck to deliver mail should be part of the job. I dont like picking up peoples balls and trampolines and beer cans but i have to do it.
OT: Is your mail delivery slowing down?

in Pike Run the guy doesnt even deliver sometimes 2x out of the 6 days and he isnt inserting the shop rite circular every week either.
For the third time, this stuff is rigidly timed. Every route has something like 30 minutes to sort the mail, 8 minutes to load the truck, 6 minutes to go from the post office to the first house, 9 minutes to finish the first street, etc. Usually the old timers get the driving routes, but I filled in on a couple of them and I found it harder to keep up with the expected pace on those than on the walking ones.
Package deliveries have been a day or two later than predicted--but that's for Amazon as well as USPS. Our postal person is usually here by noon. And think that is near the end of his run. Think when he brings the new mail the mail he collected to the Post Office he is done for the day, so the faster he gets done the sooner he is off.
Re the Other Subject--are you going to hold the President responsible for the refusal of so many teens and 20 somethings to stop gathering in large groups and partying? Those people have been conditioned to Not Listen to the President. Or anyone else. It's a free country and nobody can tell me what to do. That attitude is our greatest strength and our greatest weakness. Always has been. We keep looking back on the Greatest Generation, when so many Americans died fighting the Axis. But we don't talk about the high rate of desertion--OHIO stood for Over the Hill in October. We even executed a few troops for cowardice in the face of the enemy. You are going to have your clunkers in any group.

I'd be surprised if his route is done that early, the route inspectors try to set up every route to be 8 hours long. Also, in my experience, if you finish your route early, they'll send you out to take some mail from someone who is behind schedule.
As long as they don't come to your front door like a census worker, right? [roll]
One of the funniest comedy routines I ever heard dealt with the mail system long before the era of email and iPhones.. It was long ago when comedians used the mail system as the butt of all jokes and the Post Office had announced stamps were increased to... oh, I dunno.... let's say 25 cents. In George Carlin-esque style the comedian (I forgot who, maybe Carlin himself) goes into a 10 minute explanation of the economic bond between you and the United States Postal System. To condense it all down...
... You, citizen of the United States, has a piece of paper in New York. You need to get this piece of paper to someone 3,000 miles away in Seattle. The government agrees to send a man or woman to your door to take your piece of paper there within a week if you just leave it wavering in your mail box several feet from your door.
The postal service will personally take your piece of paper and route it for dozens of miles to regional facilities by truck. There they will sort it and make sure it is put on a plane and flown thousands of miles away and picked up and transported by trucks, hand sorted at the local post office, and send a man or woman to personally deliver your piece of paper, by hand, within feet of the door of the person receiving the piece of paper.
How much will this cost you, American citizen??????...... 25 cents.
So, what are you complaining about?

No delivery if sidewalks and stairs were not shoveled 24 hours after the snowfall. That was the policy in Hackettstown. Worked really well.
Happy to live on a private road. They’d be trespassing.
Saw one yesterday parked under a shade tree about 530pm. Must have gotten out of his truck to deliver cause it was way past quitting time.
He was unable to fire Newman, due to previously signed employment contacts from prior Administratons.
I was a temp carrier for a summer during uni years. Once I got the route down mentally, I could finish by 1.30 (and that's with walking a lot of highland hills and stairs). However the full timers really looked down on that, and they would rip on a carrier who finished too early. Managers and carriers/clerks really hated each other then (I knew how "going postal" came to be lol)
Mr. absolutely no self awareness embarrasses himself yet again.
Presidents have been handing out positions of power for years to their party loyalist. Your lord and savior Obama did the same handing out positions of power to his friends. You act like this is the 1st time in the history of the Presidency this has happened. I suggest you and your liberal friends buy these in bulk.
I’d ignore 90% of the post too if I had no response for it.Presidents have been handing out positions of power for years to their party loyalist.

Without poor service from the USPS for DECADES there would be no FedEx, UPS , no any other service to deliver something that has to get there is a timely manner.
So my friend who is a Pilot with FedEx thanks all those Newmans that lose mail.
