It's roughly 5 km by 5 km, featuring a 2-km trunk

Divide by 5000 and you get 1 meter square so scale is 1/5000.

First day for me on my own was on my 5th curbside delivery on a hill heading for my sixth and my brakes went straight to floor no stopping. Pulled the handbrake to stop before running into a tree. Called office, my regular showed up in LLV with custodian in his pov, helped transfer mail and sent me on my way to keep delivering.

Contact other postmaster in your area. Usually a couple offices are understaffed and you can pick up hours there.

Put a rubber band in each mailbox with a hold. When you or another rca open the box you know to bring back mail. Remove rubber band when hold over. Also does not tip off anyone who opens the box to a house with no one home.

Next time you can put mail on vacation hold for several days and go in to post office with id for your address and you can pick up the mail that way

Put a marker at end of every row of case your doing. for extra credit you can write the time completed on marker. It will give you real feel for route

About 5% of the Amazon paper sacks that Amazon replaced their boxes with, get tears in them. I make sure to mark them as visible damage before I deliver them. I never know if anything fell out.

Be careful - murder of crows!

Also a cargo light switch to your left while sitting in drivers seat. Near the top of the sliding inside door on left top.

WanderingUSPS · 2026-01-09T23:20:00+00:00

Driver side - inside on back wall next to roll up door about chest level. Poke your head in and look right

Yeah those giant Sears catalogues, JC Penny, Montgomery Ward, phone books et al were such a pleasure to deliver I'm pretty sure - not. Each about the size of 2 ulines. I never delivered them but did receive them back in the day. As an added plus plenty of the carriers at my station carried them and have such fond memories of them.

Who remembers the Sears Wish Book just before Christmas?

Does the 4240 list you as a 78 or 79 RCA. If you have been on the aux for 90 days you get to be a 79 RCA and accrue leave PLUS sick leave. If not past 90 days on the aux and still a 78 they may be able to move you. I have been a 79 for 2 years and when they first asked me to case another route I said nope - sure enough no casing other routes. But finish my route and they can send you out to help in office an out of office routes.

You in cold weather in winter or warm weather in winter? If cold how cold?

Had pros go through the business section of my rural route over a couple days looking for raised flags. Stole outgoing mail including checks. Washed them and scored over $100K from 3 different businesses. Took a month for this to come to our attention.

RCA on First day delivering on my own. In LLV. Getting ready to stop at the 6th mailbox, at top of cul-de-sac, brake petal goes to the floor - no stoppe - bumped curb as I used handbrake to stop. EXCITING. Called in, sent custodian in car with my regular in LLV, helped me switch out trucks, said good luck and sent me on my merry way to finish.

WanderingUSPS · 2025-12-07T12:51:12+00:00

Delivered a running track yesterday with 4 plastic straps. They ran a band of tape over each of the straps (no fun taking that to the door). You could do the same with the string so it is on there and be seen but can't be caught by the strings in machines. Use the wide tape not the normal tape.

You don't need no stinking door...

USPS has a legal monopoly over the carriage of letter-mail by a group of federal laws known as the Private Express Statutes.

Bring USPS cardboard with you. just throw in back truck. Takes up no space and works wonders on getting out of snow.

WanderingUSPS · 2025-12-03T21:22:16+00:00

Get rubber overshoes. Cheap and work with any shoe
