CCA here almost 7 months in. Everything Nick said is true. You are gonna have good days and bad ones. When you don’t know a route it’s gonna suck but the more you do them. The better you will get at them. Physically. Things are gonna hurt. Whether it’s your feet. Your back. Arms. Etc. Don’t quit and don’t give up. Yes it gets better. The more you do. The better you will get at it. By the time you know it. Weeks and months have gone by.

I'm a carrier in Denver (we have 26 stations) and we are so short of carriers that CCAs are getting converted to PTF straight out of training. Which is good for them, except that some of these carriers can't do the job. Some of them can only get parcels done in eight hours and they bring back all the DPS and flats. It's tough to fire a regular carrier even if he's still in his first 90 days. The union will argue that the carrier hasn't received the proper training, which in fairness is often true.

I know this is 7 months old, but one of the tricks I tell the newer guys is think of all of the hits on a route as pieces of a pizza.... Just take one piece at a time, get the mail out and delivered and go from there. The streets and the addresses never really change so once you've delivered some place a couple times you will know where to go which is a huge part of the job. It definitely gets easier the longer you do it.

@@MailmanNick idk bruh out here I'm Denver I've been filing grievances for like six months and they just pay out the remedy pay...kind of a catch 22 and sad the inconsistency across the nation. We out here got regulars working 65-80 hours a week, myself included, and I just got no idea how to approach it especially when people put themselves out there for the penalty and grievance pay. It really draws lines on things. I also sadly believe CCA are exempt from grievance pay via 12/60. Would really wish you all got paid more starting since it's a competitive market. Anyways I've rattled on enough. Keep up the content green one and enjoy the positivity you spread. Life is what you make it and this job is not for everyone. 😎

@@adamlopez4866 thank you for the support. I had someone tell me "pick your battles". I'm here to make as much money as I can. I wish CCA's made PTF after 90 days and starting pay was more. Hopefully things will change soon.

He's honest. The post office is failing and losing money, has been for years. Applying now gets you a miserable job, where you give up any and almost all free time. The money is there now if you want to work overtime, but the postal service itself is dying. The postal service is an awful job, Nick found a job that works for him. It's dogshit folks

Hi Nick, I applied in CCA so what are the specific things they looking for to do it in a permanent career position after 360 days, and are they giving benefits to non career employees like paid time off, any medical, religious accommodation etc?

I ain't getting enough hours for this to be worth it, no holiday leave no sick leave, no benefits, no retierment plan until or when I become a regular as a RC. God knows when that might be, I have people at my station 6 years still no space for them to be regular. I thought I'd be banking it I thought I'd be working 6 days a week...I'll give it till January 2023
