I have a degree & 24yrs in manufacturing, 17 of which were in supervisory/management roles. I made a sudden, abrupt switch to carrying mail 2 years ago. I love the job, I am at peace & derive a great deal of satisfaction from the job. I finally found my fit.
Wow I have been in manufacturing for 25 years myself, last 12 as a SUPERVISOR and I’m looking for a career change as well. How has it been for you so far? The usps is a big cut in pay compared to manufacturing but I’m welcoming the change.
@@Jmota23 yes, big cut in pay… but, I was prepared for that. Spent significant time (during COVID) and money getting my finances in order. I still enjoy the job/work itself. It is very gratifying to expend the energy both physically and mentally. I did not realize how much I craved being outdoors. I have my own route. I don’t have to worry about anyone but my customers and myself. I am very content carrying mail. God willing I remain able enough to carry until I can retire!
I clicked the video to see how you load your packages and listened to you speak on being heartbroken which is a serious life devastation that takes time to heal….. I felt your pain and it brought me to tears. The comment on loading you made is perfect. If you load sections backwards in the truck you can grab them easier when you open the back I load what will fit for 1 and 2 on my front tray and my 3 and 4 on the ledge of my other door then 5 is on my left side with 6 right behind it as I open my door in the back I write the big packages on the paper that comes on the side of our tubs that are thrown at the route for casing. I place that paper in the slot where my gas levels are so I can see them since I can not memorize them I sacrifice my personal space ( which was huge adjustment for me) on advo days and place those in a tub on the floor next to me for easy access I really love apartments because I can work out of the back of the truck Thank you for the video and sharing your story. God is good all the time. Your social circle must accommodate your life…..
Thank you for these videos! Nice seeing someone in such a similar situation. I go in for orientation in 2 days. Been watching you and Nick (that I also see in your comments). It helps so much, and you're so uplifting and positive and just real in your videos man. Thank you!
Man, I appreciate the love. It doesn’t go unnoticed. Congratulations on the new job. I pray you are able to navigate the process of learning and the sometimes frustrating culture. It all comes down to our mindset and ability to block out the noise/negativity. You got this!!
Omg.. Im so slow at loading. ( 1 hour for 40 to 60 packages.) I scan and write the sequence number and circle the section number. After im done I write the address down in sequence. But it seems the only way i can be efficient on the road. Im new .. 30 days in. I was in a dark place too. But this job lifted me up. Im truly enjoy my job and everyone I work with.
Hi fellow newbie too..been doing routes by myself for 4 days now and it's a struggle for me to keep up the right speed on my mounted route...I keep forget packages in the back and fumbling at the boxes too long
@@Mrskfray1 it gets easier I was the same way. Take the time to organize your packages and them up front with you. That 5-10 minutes you spend organizing your next packages will always be less then the time you spend delivering a package you missed👍 and one thing I say to myself when I miss a package and it was just a couple address ago is "alright I missed it but I'm not two neighborhoods or sections away I noticed quickly so it's not the end of the world".
@@Mrskfray1 I have a new way now.. ( amazon sunday and swing route) I scan all first.. I number my paper up to highest number. All small parcels are put in order in trays beside me. Big boxes ... I write the addresses on paper according to delivery number and set that up beside me on clip board. I put Xs on duplicates. Takes me 15 minutes to load truck and get on the road now. Im sure I will figure out another efficient way as time goes on. The more I do routes i can remember the large parcels in the back. And organize them by streets. The more repeated routes the faster I get. Learning a skill set takes time. Things will become clearer the more you do it. Hugs to all newbies. Hang in there. Its worth it. 💞
I clicked this video to see how you load packages, but your handsome face definitely distracted me for a moment. But nice to hear someone who understands the power of our words. Most don’t believe that they hold any weight, but the way we speak to ourselves is everything. I love E.T and I’m super big on affirmations and manifestation and I know they’re real! Everything you said is 100% right. We’re in very similar boats. I divorced from a serial cheater & narcissist who was mentally and verbally abusive. I left my dream condo in the city, and “my dream life” to start over on my own. It was devastating having to take 10 steps backward but now I have peace so I’m grateful. Im an RCA now but it’s just a temporary means to achieving my goals of helping others by being an amazing realtor. Wishing you all the peace, love and prosperity you deserve. Thanks for being open sharing. Keep wining.❤
Hey my im just seen your post wow God bless T and im just starting 🙏 ✨️ but i been wacthing your videos and they are so inspiring.. Keep your head up and stay focused 💯 🙏 💪
I had never watched this video you shared till today.. actually I’m literally watching it right now.. you know I’m already getting emotional and I haven’t finished 😢
I need some advice. I had my first shadow day on Friday. It was very very overwhelming, looking at how the case of the mail and how you deliver the mail. Is there any positive direction you can lead me in about casing the mail and not messing up it was a lot of walking. I hope I can get through my 90 days I want to get to 190 days. I’ve been waiting to get into the post office for very long time. Need some help try not to quit.
This is my son.. I love when he shares his journey.. I pray that his advice encourages you.. Hence his #inspiredtothrive is what gets me through my own mishaps
I can understand the feeling of being “overwhelmed”… however, I would suggest not allowing your feelings to get in the way of the reality that you’re new to this. It takes everyone time to understand how to case, deliver and carry mail and packages (parcels). It doesn’t happen overnight. Just do your best to learn and ask as many questions as you can. Find someone who’s willing to show you the ropes… that can be challenging, but there are good people who don’t mind giving tips. You got this!! Trust the process. Don’t rush the process. (Like Dr. Eric Thomas always says.) 🙏🏽
Case up your bundled flats first they are in order will give you little over view of case. Helpful to put pot it note with all Street on that shelve. If all else fails short by street then case them

@@solodolo6018 The spurs and parcels I keep up front weren't the problem it was the large ones in the back that went with them!
