US mail contractors

You go, girl!

ybr69...I'm not sure about the CinCity...but best thing to do is head on down to the main mail hub (this is where the mail from all the local post offices are collected). All the mail is pulled by contractors so take a look at the trailers and daycabs of guys hauling mail out of there. Or try calling the hub and they should give you a list of all the contractors who run out of the Cinci hub. Then call each one up and see if they need drivers.

Some of the ones I see in Ohio are:
Eagle Express Lines
URSA
Trojan Horse
Mail Contractors of America (MCA)
Kutchenrither

If I can find anymore, I'll give ya' a shout-out!

 

paddington- thanks i have seen eagle.

 

Any good contractors out in jersey?

 

Avoid Beam Brothers out of Northern VA.

they run junk trucks,work 7 days a week and you DO NOT get paid for layovers,time on the yard or in the shop or waiting on another driver.

They will lay you over for the weekend and it pays nothing.
They run hot sometimes but give you a 62 mph truck...

I was doing 12 to 14 hour days and they would pay for 9 and tell me that was what the USPS paid for that route.

They made it sound great at orientation then stick it to you...

 

So whats up anyone else running mail? Any north east folks?

 

R&F Transfer runs out of Taunton Ma,I think they have about 30 trucks,that's all I know up here.

 

Paddington, good advise, $325 gross, how much money for fuel for that run? Or are you using all of there equipment?

 

I work as an employee for the contractor and drive his truck and trailer.
He pays bi-monthly and gives us a W-2 at the end of the year.
From what I've gathered, the contractor is making approx $55.00/hr off that run...which is re-bid every 4 years.
The way the Post Office does it is they figure the run takes X amount of hours based on mileage, avg speed on roads, load/unload time at postal facilities, etc...and they pay $55.00/hr times the total amount of hours.
For this particular run, I figure the contractor is grossing about $55.00/hr for the run X 13 hours or about $715 per day.
He pays us $24.00/hr X 13 hours (or about $22.00/hr if you take the bennies).
The fuel is actually paid by the US Government, they give us a government fuel card to fuel the truck.
We can only fuel at certain truckstops...Pilot is the only big truckstop chain I know of that will accept the card.

 

Interesting. Thanks for the heads up Paddington.
