Mornin' Gang, got a "fun" day ahead at the PO, have to have a ride-along, so they put a jump seat in the back of the postal van. Not a problem back in the pre-Amazon days but now having to make 150 pkgs fit around a stooge will be a total PITA. And I have to follow every stupid postal rule today too~get this~
Have to curb our tires every time the vehicle is parked and the e-brake applied. I have one street that has 50 off-curb boxes (ones that are on the other side of a sidewalk so you can't just reach out and put in the box), so I have to do this stupidity every 40 feet for about a half mile. And every time we have a door pkg delivery you are to take your shoulder satchel w/ you in case a dog comes out of the blue and you can put the satchel between you and the attacking dog.
I've been doing this shit for 33 years now and never needed a satchel to save me from a dog, I'd much rather just have my spray or the newer blast horn (which does work damn well). I wish I had a video clip of some poor mailman trying to carry a 75 lb box of canned food while carring that shoulder bag, just a joke. Oh well /rant
