Work Camping



Beats a motel.
Free hookups too. ;)
I just park next to the other driver's house where he added a 50 amp plug.

I carried the mail for several years and I cover for the other two drivers when they take time off.

I also drive during December to help with the additional Christmas mail.

Its the longest route both miles and stops. 540 miles every night with a total of 27 stops.

Due to the miles and number of stops its too hard for the company to find a temp driver every once in a while so I fill in for them.
  • Wow, now that is a heck of a route, that is a lot of APC's to haul around from DDU's.
  • If the unemployed want to work, there are lots of good jobs available.

    Now that's a rural route with a lot of miles.
    Is that a residential route ?


    I pick up the mail from 10 rural post offices and a couple of other stops and take it to a distribution center.

    I have about an hour and a half break before loading the next days mail and dropping it off at the post offices.

    Its a 14 hr shift and I get paid for 12.5 hrs.

    I leave the first post office at 3 in the afternoon and get back about 5 AM the next morning.
