Snail Mail Locations for Trucks

There's one in Westover NV. Been awhile since I was out that way...

What I usually do is find a drop yard, drop the trailer and bobtail to a post office.

 

Oklahoma City... its on the west side of I35 just south of the I40 interchange. Looked to me like you could get off on the first exit southbound, and park on the access road.

 

Here's my solution for most things on the road... hit the internet!

That link will find you a post office... then use your favorite map site to checkout the access into and out of it, with a good long look at the satellite view. Doesn't always work, but it is one solution.

 

The old "Giant " truck stop in Jamestown, New Mexico (now a Pilot) off of I-40, exit 39, IIRC, has a post office in the main building.

 

Every truck stop on planet earth has outgoing mail. Just ask them to place your items in their outgoing mail. If weight is an issue, ask the place you purchased your item from if they can help you ship, and if they have a shipping dept. You'd be surprised how many mom and pop shops sell on line these days, and they are experts on shipping. God bless good old eBay lol.

I have a thermal printer at home to pre print my labels. I also carry a small selection of priority mail envelopes and priority boxes. They all fold flat and are free to order and receive. Order them on line from USPS. You can also buy a pre paid Priority Mail stamp at any post office.

If your items will fit in the Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes, you wont have to guess as to the postage price/weight as its a one rate weight/distance deal. Priority envelopes are good up to 1lbs.

Be careful you order Priority (2-3) day, and NOT Express (1 day). Express starts at $15.

For smaller envelopes you can get a cheap scale like this

Wal Mart really should add post offices inside their stores. Many grocery stores do, so you'd think it would be a no-brainer for wally world.

FedEx and UPS facilities have semi parking generally, along with a shipping counter...

 

Everyone has their own little thing. But I will tell you Mr. Kansas, I personally will not be handing my mortgage payment, van payment, truck payment, or anything financially involved over a counter at a truckstop to a $8.00 a hour cashier to do as she pleases.

If they don't have a blue mail box, I don't send my stuff. If I can't find a post office, I don't send my stuff!

Now back on subject....


The USPS office in Canton, TX has a big gravel lot across the street & you can park on the shoulder of the road. I-20 exit 527. Go south. Turn right on Dallas Street. The Post office will be on the left.


Manzanola, CO

US-50 just outside of Pueblo. Do not park on US-50. You can actually park on the city streets, just not the main hwy which happens to be US-50. The post office is at the junction of South Park St. & US-50

 

Injun have you tried Stamps.com ?

 

I keep a supply of stamps in my truck as well as flat rate postage boxes for usps priority mail. Just drop in any mail box at trucks stop and your set. Another option would be that most small towns Post office is located right on the main hwy going through the town. Find a place to pull of the road and walk right to it.
