I just got converted to regular last Saturday. Finally got my Sunday’s off. It gets better. I work in a big office in Los Angeles. Lots of drama & overtime. No shortage of work here. So busy. Wish I discovered ur channel earlier. Everything u say is true. Just wanted to say I love ur attitude and I know u will go far anywhere in life with that. U remind me of myself when I came in to the USPS 2 years ago. Wish we had more CCA’s like u. Like finding a needle in a haystack. Stay up. Keep grinding & Get yo money!Hope u reach all ur goals bro. Big fan & subscribed. Peace and stay safe!

All you need: 1: hard hat/ rain hat 2: waterproof jacket 3: waterproof shoes( a secondary aside from your everyday postal shoes. Pro tip, put in the better insoles that can keep you comfortable all day) 4: rain cape( absolute winner when it comes to to keeping the mail dry.) Honorable mentions: rain pants, definitely helps keeping you protected and dry but can be expensive.

I could never do that lol . Sometimes i complain about my job but definitely there's worse jobs out there. I'm a nurse working in a nursing home which can be stressful at times but i get paid $60 and i dont have to be out in the rain or cold but i do encounter some touch situations sometimes...

i like my poncho. i keep the mail under the poncho and it is a bit of a pain with the second arm so I will single bundle and then it's smooth and the satchel is underneath the poncho too so that stays dry.

One thing you can do, at least if you think the rainstorm will be short, is to sort and flag your DPS, and flats if you have time. We are supposed to take our DPS straight to the street, for example, which I do. So if it's raining really hard I'll sit in my truck and flag the walking splits, and for the hopping splits I'll flag every address. This also helps to put the parcels in the right places if you don't know the route because you are getting an idea of the layout of the route while you flag the mail. You'd have to finger all that mail anyway so you might as well get it done beforehand. And you're right about asking other carriers. My car got stolen with my rain gear in it so I asked a 30-year carrier what she had, and she gave me a new pair of Gore-Tex rain pants.
