Hauling mail for a USPS contractor

A lady used to work with me, her daughter started and after about two years she bought a really nice home. I was reading a thread on here not too long ago , I can't remember if it was FedEx or USPS but they had an accident and that was the end so be careful.

 

Perfectly clear. I'm taking a mail job right now and hadn't realized that.

 

Thank you for all that. It's also nice running uphill with maybe 20k pounds.

 

Here the requirements decrease with the level of their desperation.

 

I'm currently hired to start running mail with Hoovestal out of Eureka, CA. It's start at 1900 grab some mail and run it 5.75 hours to the SF Bay area. Drop trailer at post office and layover 10 hours. The layover is why not a lot of people want the job. After 10 hours bobtail go back and grab trailer at post office at 1300 and return to Eureka. Takes longer to return because people are awake at those hours. First 40 hours in a week are $27.36 . After 40 it's $22.36 . No time and a half. The 5 dollars extra in the first 40 is to go toward medical insurance. All hours are paid-I checked. When I come back I'm off like 23 or 24 hours and then repeat. There may be times when I do some extra stops or little runs to cover a guys day off or 34 or whatever since there are different routes. I'll gross like 2600 every 2 weeks for running 7 loads in 2 weeks. So, in effect, you drive 5.75 hours and take a 10 hour lunch. You drive like 7 hours back and take a 24. Comes out to 3.5 loads a week and 3.5 days off for 1300 bucks. Mail is light going uphill, hardest thing might be rolling carts at one place. Light with wheels.

 

I forgot to add that Sundays and holidays absolutely do not affect the schedule I put up there in this location. Paid federal holidays. It's drive layover drive take 24 no matter what day it is.

 

Looking for Part Time work in New Jersey

 

You might find something on Craigslist.

Veltri tends to put up part-time positions on there. 3-4 hour runs. Maybe some weekend work too. I talked to a couple of their drivers that worked part-time. Or give them a call...see what happens. Finkle is up in North Jersey. MTI I think has one in South Jersey. Good luck.

 

Best job I've ever had. Only drawback is that if one of your work days falls on a holiday you are obligated to work it. I'm paid $25.40 an hour and an additional $4.70 an hour to help pay for the costs of benefits, which with my company is a pretty decent Blue Cross Blue shield policy that runs me about $250 a month. The $4.70 an hour is considered "Health & Welfare Pension Pay" that is paid every hour worked up to 40 hours a week. After that I'm just making the base pay of $25.40 an hour. Still pretty #### good in my opinion. So in essence I make $30 an hour for the first 40 hours worked each week. I'm paid 8 hours for all 10 federal holidays and I received 2 weeks of vacation (paid 40 hours a week) after just the first yeat. I currently run 2 different routes and I'm home every day of the week except for 2 of them. This has me grossing $97,600 a year as a company driver with decent benefits. So if you ask me if hauling mail is good...I'd say hell yeah it is! If you have any questions I'm here for guys. Stay safe out there!

 

How much experience do they require?
