Worst management, rough riding and broke down tractors, trailers are always broken and flat tires ! Maintenance takes a few days to fix. Postal schedule is terrible one of the worst, especially around holidays.  Dispatch is always begging you to work extra with no thank you after, you are just a number, driving numbered vehicle, to a numbered destination, they couldn’t care less. Many nights there is no one local to ask for help, no management or dispatch, 
The camera system in the trucks are forward and rear facing , no phones, no food, act like a robot, both hands on the wheel at all times, tracking your speed, lane change using signals , and every move you make. Lots of beeping noises from the trucks safety system. You are fired for touching your phone the first time  while truck is in motion. They have a high employee turnover rate. Lots of people come and go because of the conditions, most never make it 3 months . 10-11 Hour shifts. There is so much more, but this section is limited. 
Best of luck to whomever is considering them for any employment. 

A typical day at work would be Dispatching - the maneuvering and finding drivers for on time postal picks ups and deliveries for Unassigned trips.   

I've Learned 
   Payroll - Calculating driver hrs. Using Loadtrek,
   Loadtrek systems  - thru Seminars live and online. (assigning trips, creating trips, putting trips into rotation, Geofenciing etc..).
   HR - Hiring using Hirehive, interviewing using Insu Criteria, Orientations,          working with Selective service and Secap.dmv

Creating great work relationships - 
   with Postal Employees for the smooth transition of New hires.  
   Headquarters - for Anythinng they may need or require from a driver.
                      Drug testing
                      Road testing
                      Accident reports
                      401K withdrawals or adjustments
                      Health & Welfare Accounts etc...
   Employees - Remembering that they are people too. 

The Hardest part - would be the internet Connection. It's poor

Most Enjoyable part of the job would be the different people and their stories. Laughing with them,

I’ve been here since MT transportation had the account with the mail. Drivers beware, bad equipment,
Bad management and bad dispatchers, you are asked to work over your hours but when your pay check comes it doesn’t match your hours of service. 
You have to keep great stats on your hours and payroll,
This use to be the job to have and this company has made it the worst job on Long Island, drivers beware don’t trust anything that dispatchers say to you. 
If I was in charge I would firer all of the dispatchers, 
They know nothing about trucking, they couldn’t get a job at McDonald’s. So go somewhere else, you will thank me later, stay away and run away,

Experience Driver

Great company. easy work, don't have to lift any freight, just roll off carts on some routes. Family friendly company. They try to be accommodating if you need time off. Good pay and good benefits. pay is based on the contract with USPS but if they renegotiate contract periodically the pay goes up. They are good about fixing tractors if anything is wrong, you just have to tell them. They have bonuses and stuff for different things. They do care about their employees which makes it nice.

Work times vary, be in truck signed in on computer  & inspect truck. Be ready to leave on time. Give yourself time to do the job safely.
 Management works good with the drivers, it takes a team effort to get the job done. I've seen no I in team.
Co-workers good people for the most part.
Hardest part driving in bad weather. not be home when you need to be for the family.
 Most enjoyable part is dry roads, sunshine, a good radio & most of all no dispatcher calling .

Worked here 12 years put up with it all bad trucks bad management took vacation came back to no work after 12 years of 70 hrs a week and never called off work no speeding or accidents ever and this is how they treat loyal workers because you took your vacation if you want to see how they are look at there Facebook page last update about there employees was in 2016 wow what a nice company to work for maybe it has to do with management !!!!

They have horrible equipment, they are desperate for drivers yet treat their drivers like garbage. The postal workers you have to deal with are disgruntled trash and treat drivers like garbage as well. The yard drivers/switchers drive like jerks and pull out in front of drivers trying to drop trailers off or take trailers out. The shop can't fix or don't want to fix the trucks and don't test drive them.

Awesome atmosphere laid back and we work together rather than against. There's always room for improvement no matter where you are and what you are doing. The one thing I'd like to see improve is the communication. Awesome team atmosphere and coworkers and the drivers that make us who we are.
