I have 10 months in right now. I enjoy the job. Casing took a while once you really do the route a few times you know where everything thing is. At first i was always the last person out of the office now im always the first person out. Only thing i really dislike about this job is helping all the lazy carriers.

This seems like a little thing, but I'm a super fast caser and I always make sure each piece of mail is perpendicular to each particular cell before I push it in. If you push in mail at an angle, it will sometimes get hung up. There are very small spaces between the slots and the dividers placed in them and thin paper can get jammed in them. Pushing the mail straight in is faster in the long run.

Thanks for the continuous positive attitude and assistance 👌🏽

Keep up the videos man. They are much appreciated. I'm at carrier academy right now on break. When class starts again we are going to practice casing.

Thanks for the continuous positive attitude, I am from California, I just attend my second day Carrier Academy and we practice casing for second day, I'm the last person to finish casing in my class, I am frustrated but I know I will do better if I keep trying. Thanks again for the video!

I've been working in kitchens my whole life so I'm used to 60 hr weeks nd working in the crazy heat. I Wanted a change, a real career. Anways i start my orientation in a couple weeks. Thanks for showing the journey bro. Awesome to see u grow!

Yeah I’m lost when it comes to casing, I’ve been on my route not a month yet but I feel like I’m just slow and always looking for streets. One thing though I love walking delivering mail and being outdoors

Here in Vegas it's 90 days 😕 .... Thanks for sharing these good points

Thanks bro 🙏🏽

Thank you!

I have shadow day on Thursday and Driving test on Saturday. Probably will ask Tom if the driving test will allow practice rounds before the actual test

This is what slows me down…

Bro casing with double wickets so hard for me and I started like April 5 I work in Houston Texas my station is no walking just apartments business/ nbus but my regs say carries that start off at walking stations are professional carries I have mad respect for walking stations I was the only person in my group going to a non walking station outta 22

Hey nick can you explain how you handle mail that you bring back to the station like vacant or forwards? And also what do you do with certified letter?

Do you recommend double casing with spurs on mounted routes?

This may be a random question but during orientation the instructor said during anonymous mail it must have 3 criteria: 1. Only postage stamps, 2. Weigh more than 10 oz or more than 1/2 inch and 3. Not approved by a USPS employee. I understand 1 and 3 since there’s no bar code to track the package but I don’t understand number 2. Also, how does one know if the package is more than 1/2 inch or more than 10 oz?

Nick the hard part is when your new you never get same route, casing is hard my opinion , to bad try hard spurs everything looks so un organized in that cubby hole gee whiz, my opinion

What is casing? What is the carrier academy? I have orientation for a CCA next week? What is the best dog spray?

Thats my only weakness right now casing and im left handed

Can you put hold downs on aux routes?

Hey I have a question if you applied for cca and it didn’t work out and then you applied for pse and got a job do you have to attend orientation and fingerprinting again even tho you did them before?

Tomorrow my last day of orientation

If you can case a route you can do the route but I'd never say casing is the hardest part of the day
