Hi Lawrence. You posted this video exactly a month before I retired from being a carrier after 34 years. I never had to work a Sunday in my entire career, being that back in 1988, the only Sunday delivery was Express Mail. That's 365 days a year. Sunday parcels only happened between Thankgiving and Christmas back then. Long before the internet and the explosion of parcels. I made regular early in November, before Thanksgiving, so could never be "forced" to work Sunday. Never did, although in the last 5 or so years of my career I could've made a bundle in OT. I feel for you CCAs today. You have no say in the matter. Keep on keepin' on. When you make regular, you'll have much more control over your work hours. Peace, dawgs!

[@roiijamez33]

Right - was a City Carrier from '88 to 2000 & Never had to even entertain the thought of working on Sunday. Remember a few years ago when they were talking about eliminating Saturday delivery? And now they've got people working 7 days! #WhatAPlace

[@socalchic7913]

Thank you for this video. I do this for the first time in a few hours. And I didn’t know what to expect! 😊

[@pastrana37]

thank you for showing up the real work. I'm still in trainee but you help me a lot. Once again thks

EVERYONE, Scan the Packages AT THE DOOR!, not in your Truck.

[@IrregularrAF]

Just talked to the route egghead guys. I forget what they're called, but they made it clear that you can scan it early but you better take the scanner with you when you drop it off. Otherwise it does look like you just scanned it and drove off.

[@christopherestes6760]

I'm a PFT, its my first sunday and this video was very helpful! thank you!

[@ChiefVirgo1514]

Hey I just want to thank you and every other KZbinr that makes usps videos. I been trying to get into the post office since January. I been watching hours and hours of videos of postal employees. As of July 1st I officially have joined the postal family. ❤️ it won’t let me msg. Everyone on here. So I’m just posting a comment on everyone’s video. Thank you all again. ❤️

[@TubbyWonka]

Thanks for the vids. Im pretty far in the application process where all I have left are the fingerprints for the criminal background check. This far in, I look up forum posts and yt vids to see how the job is, unofficial rules, etc. Most of them are very pessimistic and made me nervous. I have been given helpful info such as 6 day work weeks and the physical nature of the job (of course, its a mail carrier position). However, it's made out to be the worst job ever. Other jobs Ive researched and worked in are often better than people online make it out to be. Of course theyre never perfect but still better than the worst. Your vids helped me calm my nerves and gave good advice like that one vid of yours where you recommend bringing lots of your own water in a cooler or something

[@TheAmigoUser]

It all depends on the office and the supervisors you get. Lots of negative comments online and rightfully so, you won't know till you get in the office.

[@animaljustice7774]

I’m doing this job now and I’m finding out that the only good thing about is the paycheck. Make sure they do not screw up your paycheck.

[@BoilingKoolaid]

Sunday is funday to me. I love Amazon delivery days. I'm a rural carrier and Sundays are light compared to all the other days so I finish up and go help whoever is struggling. The reason USPS delivers Amazon on Sunday is because of money. Amazon pays them a lot of money to do the deliveries on Sundays and Holidays.

[@GungraveFreak]

That used to be the case for our office. Then, they moved the central Amazon Sunday hub to an office 30mins further away. A bigger office, with dozens of routes, and people who are constantly "sick" (no call no show). Now I'm working 10-12hrs EVERY Sunday on top of the 60+ hours Mon-Sat...

[@christopherestes6760]

i'm PFT and this sunday will be my first, that is relieving to know. I figured amazon was makin it rain on USPS... I dont mind, its packages! no flats, no dps, etc.

[@amusicunlimited]

Rather than complaining about having to Deliver Amazon Packages via USPS, just be happy that You are working on a Sunday, getting Paid the USPS Rate; as amazon pays their Drivers, lower Rate than USPS. Take advantage of USPS Sundays!

Austin Tx area has multiple several CCA / RCA positions.....A quick hire due to high turn over and growing population. Lakeway is minutes outside Austin and starts RCAs at $24.50 hr. Its a career position as well.

man i got transferred to a different office for a bit went from working 2-3 hour sundays 60-80 packages max mayb to 8am-9pm close to 300 stops on this other office. was so glad when i was back at my home office and laugh when my co workers complaining about a "heavy sunday" 😂

[@jeffw1267]

We have carriers come in and deliver mail on Sunday, which they're not supposed to do, but management orders them to do it. The problem is that all that mail is getting credited to parcel time, and effectively that mail has just disappeared come Monday. Those routes will get much longer with the next route adjustments.

[@anibalhernandez2479]

I don't know how routes could get any longer than they are.

What??? Mail deliver on Sundays

[@Ron-u1z]

I hear you brother, the royal mail has went the same way. College and university graduates who have never delivered a letter making up the routes. Idiots

[@blairakana9984]

It looks like you’re a fast worker by running to the front doors of places and you’re finishing your route faster than normal. That’s why they loaded up your truck with more deliveries. You might be better off just working at a normal pace instead of running to each door.

[@greenthumb8170]

Did you make more than 1.5x for working Sunday?

What time do CCA'S usually start on Sundays?

Thankyou for your service I order Amazon prime packages every month ❤❤

[@marehenslaw5420]

Damn!!! On my Amazon sundays I feel sorry for myself and I only have around 35 stops usually 😅 that is working 6 days a week though. Do they still have y’all working 6 days when your Sunday is nearly a full day??

[@HarambetheWhite]

Danm man your truck has more packages then what I get on my full route. I usually get roughly 25 packages on my route.

[@LawrenceSimms]

Hello Lawrence, thank you so much for this video, I just got accepted to work for CCA (i took the fingerprints on 1/22/223 and they emailed me yestrday that my first day of orientation will be on 3/11/2023....... I have a question so i can be prepared early how do you know the order that you should deliver the packages in order to best prepare yourself and be time efficient... Also is it normal that CCAs are part timers at first?

So what hours do you work on Sundays😬

[@TreonSpencer]

we deliver amazon on Sundays because they have the biggest contract with the post office and they deliver Sundays

[@Skidmark0606]

7 hour work day? Question, would you get in trouble for milking the clock? Or is it one of those guaranteed time situations, like you’re getting paid for 10 hours regardless if you finish earlier or later than 10 hours.

[@LawrenceSimms]

I had to do two routes that day.. so in that case no but I mean yeah if the supervisor feels you should of been back within a reasonable time they could say something about it.. and for city carriers its hourly im not sure how it works for rural carriers on Sundays.

[@SamuelMatthew-l6i]

I thought we are supposed to scan the packages at the door.

[@nakeasimone13]

I was going to ask if you use your phone GPS or if you use the GPS given to you by the USPS define the locations where you need to deliver the mail before I heard the gps partially announcing you arrived at your location. I’m not gonna lie, the USPS can take their time with the background checks cuz I have a feeling once I get in imma be busy lol and I’m working a work at home call center job right now with guaranteed 80 hours every two weeks too!

[@JorgeRamirez-xf2bd]

Hell nah I got a shit tone of tickets that came on my background check and still became CCA

[@zacburkett5383]

Hey, man. Quick question. I got hired on as an RCA, part time, working two days a week, on call for other days. I was planning on working two jobs and I wouldn’t be available on Sundays to work. With that position, would they allow that?

[@heroteen16]

They'll allow it, but at some point you'll get so many hours they'll force you to make a decision. I worked as an RCA, and about 2 months in I was already working at the very least 4 days, and working every other Sunday.

[@robertlaster6655]

Yo'! I'm in my second week of CCA. But here's the catch. I spent my 140-days probation as a USPS collector at the main plant. I asked to switch to a station to carry mail. WTF was I thinking? Might can't stand me because they can't treat me like a newbie. 8 days as a CCA and I'm already filing my first grievance against mngmt tomorrow. I'm at war with my station. Only thing keeping me motivated is my goal for the next 6 paychecks. After 6 more pay periods, I might resign, but I'd rather stay and give'em hell. Lol.

[@nakeasimone13]

Wow

Is it normal for priority mail to run late this time of year. My parcel was supposed to land on 12-14 and its now 12-15 with no updates other than it saying in transit moving through network will arrive late with no delivery date. Any insight would be great. S

[@KegstandOG]

Personally I don't think we need weekend mail period. Back in the day when shit wasn't open 24/7 and on weekends in many places people just had their shit together better and got their crap done on the week days. I realize not everyone can get the weekends off but mail ain't exactly emergency services that are needed on a sat/sun.

[@OWN12S]

How? 85 stops in 3.3 hrs?

They say you're supposed to do 20 stops an hour. Most are close to each other so that helps

Hey can you do a casing video or how your learned you routes🙏🙏🙏🥰

[@UptownNYC]

Casing is easy, I learned it day 1 without going to Academy. Just gotta luck out and get an OJI (on job instructor) who will be patient and let you stop and ask questions and can easily explain why things go where they go. I was doing my own box on Day 3 being at my station because my OJI had the day off. It will come to you with practice and patience. I've decided to apply for OJI so I can help other fellow CCA's and do it the same way my OJI helped me.

Yeah casing isnt bad I wont be doing a video on it though its risky to make a video since it shows addresses lol.. however I did see a video somewhere showing how to case

[@FleeGuy92]

I just got hired with FedEx Express Delivery 📦

[@celsoreyes6363]

How does that work

[@johnnybegood7725]

Wow! Now, imagine working for UPS PVD? I did that for two seasons and your truck looks light compared to what I carried on a daily basis, which translates to six days a week! Try 150 stops with four to five packages each, and sometimes I’d deliver 25 heavy packages for two runs! Some boxes came from China and they were ridiculously heavy! I would time myself in how many hours would 150 stops be? Usually, that was five hours straight! No stops for breaks, or lunch! The only time I’d stop was to go back to the warehouse and pick up more packages. If I finished early, which happened often, I delivered other people’s routes. Usually, from those lazy losers who didn’t finish their routes, and those who just quit. So that would mean an additional 60 or so more stops. So during peak that meant 200-250 stops, which sometimes reached 300 during peak. That was ten hours of driving with a ten to 15 minute break to eat something and go to the bathroom. I could’ve taken a longer break, but you weren’t paid for that time and I didn’t want to push the day until it got too dark and try to find my delivery stops in the dark. Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend working for Amazon or UPS prior to working for USPS. That’s because they totally prepare you for the job of CCA. You won’t regret the experience and you’ll be faster in your delivery time, which makes you less tired during the day. Anyway, regardless of my experience, I wish you all the best and hang in there, and by no means ever give up! Besides, I believe in you. One day you might consider becoming a supervisor and have a starting salary of $80,000. In fact, you can start right after you do your CCA time! God bless!

[@LawrenceSimms]

I worked for Fedex Ground trust me I know about the stops lol… shit can have you out there for 12 hours or more.. however its not the fact of it being packages at USPS, thats easy lol its the fact of having to do the mail as well lol we hit EVERY house and business
