[@imuniquejustice3554]

I'm currently on the offer phase ext list. It makes me feel so anxious but at the same time, I'm staying patient and utilizing my time preparing for what's next. Initially I chose the PSE Mail processing clerk position. But ultimately, I went for CCA. Being that I'm an introvert, this position suits me best and I'm just excited about the whole process. I think it'll help to appreciate the position more. Stay blessed 🙌

Question; I finished the academy as an RCA, did the LLV training and I know I'm certified on that, but we ( my class ) are confused if we're also certified with the Metris. Since all we did was hop on it and play with the controls, but we're being told that was it.

thanks man i used to work as a amzon Van driver now im going tomorrow to start my training this video helped

I'm a city carrier and DSI (Driving Safety Instructor). Im a certified instructor for Texas also. Only had one failure in 8 years,as an instructor. Dude, could not back up without a back-up camera.

@@kcgiovannetti8276 I work p/t for USPS delivering Amazon on Sundays. I had to go through right hand drive training as well. I didn't pass the first time, and my DSI told me the reason(didn't do well on alternate backing). Second time was with a different instructor, passed the obstacle course, and the road test, and was told that right away.

[@animaljustice7774]

Well, you’re really not gonna like the LLV vans for the USPS, they date back to the late 80s and there’s no back up camera. They are also very uncomfortable to get in and out of and are usually filthy.

[@beastb83]

Like most newbies that have a driver license, I'm nervous, but I know I got this because I've been driving for a number of years. The classroom course for me was just noting the stuff I didnt know about and studying that. Then checking the internet for source material.

[@brandonholloman6835]

If they put a job on indeed do you still have to create a profile 👀🤔???

[@uspstwan7716]

I’m not sure about the indeed process. I applied directly through the USPS site. I’d recommend you do that

[@KrispyRLTV]

Question I just got my license I have experience in driving but some Karen told me I need 2 years of driving to be mail carrier. Don’t they train you though? Or do I haft to wait 2 years of me driving?

I’m so nervous because my state doesn’t require parallel parking so I never learned. And backing up without the camera I never tried 😭 I do use my mirrors but I also take advantage of the backup camera to be sure.

[@uspstwan7716]

lol. You’ll be okay. The driving test isn’t hard at all. Have you went through the process yet?

[@99SVTBolt]

It’s easy to parallel park the LLV. You’re sitting on the right and can see the curb easily. The instructor broke it down step by step on how to park it. Easy peasy.

[@annastassiamartin8652]

He’s fine shoot. I was a CCA in NY for 6 months now am a MHA but am moving so I just got an offer to be a CCA again.

What would be considered a fail? What happens if you don't do so well with parallel parking or the test as a whole? I haven't parallel parked since i passed my drivers test 2 yrs ago and im extremely nervous.

Did you do ok? Im nervous too. Idk how to parallel park.

I didn’t see them fail anyone. They’d most likely give you another chance from what i saw. They’re understanding in academy

[@evanhuang4464]

I didn't pass it the first time: what I found difficult was backing up straight with no camera

[@AMONTIANA15]

I got hired as an RCA and I’m requested to use my own car so do they test to see if you can drive your own car on the right side because my car is kinda difficult to drive on the right side of my own car ?

[@underconstruction4803]

I’m in Texas and accepted a position. Are the delivery trucks equipped with air conditioners?

[@uspstwan7716]

Not the LLVs. They have a knob for cold air, but it’s just for show. Only the heater works, and theirs a fan. If you get lucky enough to be able to drive a METRIS, you’ll have ac and a radio.

The LLV is equivalent to a Chevy S10. Same chassis

[@360milliondollars]

Do you have to use your own car for CCA or do they provide the car?

[@360milliondollars]

I am guessing its a case by case per USPS locaiton.

[@uspstwan7716]

As a CCA we get assigned a LLV or One of the vans. I drive the 2 ton a lot.

[@TammyJ7628]

Thank you ❤❤❤

[@uspstwan7716]

You're welcome

[@TammyJ7628]

I completed my driving test today 😊. The hardest part was backing into a parking space and parallel parking .

[@V3rYh4rD2KilL]

Do they take you out there individually or are you driving in front of a crowd of other people?

[@uspstwan7716]

When you test in the LLV (mail truck) you’ll be in front of the people you’re in academy with. That’s done in their parking lot. When you train in the 2 ton truck, you drive with one instructor individually.

[@99SVTBolt]

There was 3 of us in the yard. 3 CCAs and 3 instructors. It’s one on one training but the instructors would switch it up. It was cool getting a different perspective from each instructor.

Day 1 is orientation. 2 is defensive driving class. 3 is road test. 4 is shadow day. 5-8 is carrier academy. 9-11 is on the job training. Day 12 you’re out on your own, on the streets.

[@ramoff1015]

Just failed my driving test 😖

[@TheBombers28]

I failed mine today, and I was so disappointed. It is impossible to pass if you haven’t driven an LLV before. The feel of the steering wheel is totally different, plus you're driving on the right side. I wasn’t even given a chance to familiarize myself with how the vehicle feels. My instructor doesn’t really care if I pass or not; once I’m in, he told me to drive to the driving course and do parallel parking and reverse parking. He knows I can handle it; if not, he would schedule me for another test.I’m hoping I get next time. They are very strict; there’s no way you can pass it without LLV experience.

[@uspstwan7716]
