You have to wait until the truck with mail comes from the hub, so it doesn't matter how early you come into the post office. Sometimes the truck will arrive at 5:00 p.m., that means you have to sit there and spend an hour and a half to two hours case in your mail and parcels.

Then you've got to pull all that mail that you cased, into trays stack it up and then you have to stalk your truck and then do the same with the packages.

Then you leave to the route at about 6:30 to 7:00 and you've got about 3 hours left to deliver mail and packages. You've also got to deliver the mail under any weather condition.

Lastly most carriers don't have their own route. They run the routes of the carriers who take a day off so you're constantly doing different routes every day and you don't know them so it takes you even longer to do your job because you have to learn the route.

It's a stressful job.
