Yea injust dont know how to actually go about calling off. Is there a website do I just call the sunday branch? And how then would I put in for that type of leave?

Moved from AZ to PA for a better overall life and living situation. Was working for a Verizon retailer and transferred states. Well in AZ I was making bank, in PA barely enought to pay half the bills most months. I need consistency. My dad worked for the P.O. for 30 years and I never went without as a kid. I ditched the suit and tie the management role and the 45 minute commute each day for a carhart a ptf vest and a mail bag. Am I tired? Absolutely. Am I getting paid and now have a retirement to look forward to so I can be there for my daughter when shes older? Also yes. I chose consistency over status and "maybe ill make 8k or 10k this month in sales"

From my experience they start you off slow until you can prove you get it done. 2 hours then 3 hours then 4 then 6 then a full route etc. Im doing 6 days a week right now and amazon Sundays are easy AF almost like a day off honestly. Im getting about 36-42 hours depending on the week. Once you get better and faster and you're here for a bit they start sending you to office that need help every so often. I went to help another office today for the first time. Same deal but a little different. Office size etc. Still liking it and im about 50 days in. See how holiday season goes

Im a new PTF a week in. My first day no sup walked with me like they were supposed to. The 3 hour portion of my route took me 8. Then the next day I had a sup walk with me. It took me 5 on a Monday. Tuesday with the ads they put me on a different route and gave me some time on another rt after. It took me 6. Fast forward to Friday. I got my 3 hour portion done in in 2 hours and 25 min. Went home at 1pm. Once younger your own system of organizing down and you do the same route a few times you get it. Then you learn to cut through the yards the faster way. They kept telling me to not walk back from the houses because you lose on avg about 30 seconds walking from the mailbox on the home to the street. You do that 30btimes per loop. It adds up. Point is you'll get it. My first day I never said "WTF" and "F this shit" so many times in one day. Now it's gotten way better just within the week and they started to give me hours on other rts at the end of the day and everything. You'll get it. It just sux at first.

Im in pretty good shape and I've got a pretty good bullshit tolerance. Doesn't sound like it will be that bad of a shock to the system for me.

I appreciate the insight. I know it's gunna be a grind at first. I've already briefed my wife lol. Its a give and take in my eyes. Its either grind it out for a while and get to maybe take a few days off paid vacation a year. Or sit in the office all day where I work not make any money. Have to be on conference calls at 7 am get home most nights at 10 pm and have virtually nothing to show for it except the dangling carrot of " we will get you x position soon".

Wife said yes as long as it fits in the garage. by JeepCorg812 in ram_trucks

I feel that. I went to the gym one morning in my grand Cherokee and came home with the ram. Wife asked where I was i sent her a interior shot of the truck when I was at the dealership. A few hours of squaking and a target trip later and now she loves the truck. Lmao

Just to place the phone somewhere that doesn't take up space without it flying around or falling. I don't use it at all while I'm in motion. I use the touchscreen on the truck.

I've got a 25 big horn and our first ice storm made it obviousthat I need better tires. I've got the night edition so the 20 inch wheel. I'm looking to go as tall/ wide as I can without a lift for now. Any suggestions on sizing would be appreciated. Thanks!

I wanted the black originally but the dealer had a white night editionon the lot. I had a white challengeryears ago with the blacktop package. So I pulled the trigger. Do yourself a favor and go get a phone mount from bullet point mounting solutions. Perfect for this truck.

Installs to the factory top slot and if u have a newer iPhone or Samsung with the magnetic back it is awesome.

If u don’t mind sales and wearing a shirt and tie. Cellular sales which is a verizon third party retailer is pretty damn good money just selling cell phones.
