Mail Processing Clerks Job Description

[vampyreakura]

i had this job for a week before my boss told me i had to take a medical discharge -.- so no it is not easy to do. who ever tells u that is lying.

[BOLLYHDSONGS]

well this job is good if u dont have a job..u can make some good money but in this job they makes u work so hard.there is many big and large heavy bags.

[Morr1992]

i dont give a fuck, i just throw all this shit into a bag, zip it and that's repeated x10000 :P

Job is easy as fuck, just standing there and moving letters, but it's really fucking with your mind after 7 hours doing the same thing over and over again. But i guess it's better for job to be boring and easy rather than hard and boring.

@dougla718 you can ask Lanny1966 he has more knowledge than I do

[taytayangel]

So what's the pay like? I hope its good, all that heavy lifting?

You can process mail a lot faster than 27KPH, but not the way this video shows. More important, there are plenty of ergonomic disasters shown here, both loading and sweeping, all USPS-approved and even demanded. I flip trays (verboten!) and run a DBCS alone whenever possible ... 21 years now and no injuries, but that's NO THANKS to idiot managers and overpaid desk jockeys in distant locations who want to dictate that I and others do the job in ways that are guaranteed to destroy bodies.

Rushing is for suckers. Those of you bragging how fast you are, are a managers wet dream. Nowhere in the contract does it say you are required to rush and if a manager tells you to work faster tell them that.

hey robin IDIOT read 27 thou per hour times 7 =189 thou good math there

[robinidiot]

27,000... what? My husband & his partner do at worst 60,000 and on a great night, 100,000 in an 8-hr shift. This is an all clerk postal household, no slackers here!

[flygirlgotgame]

yup, those regular clerks are slow, it takes 4 loads for them to empty one tray only... I flip the tray for faster loading small or large, full or halfway full it doesn't matter whatever it takes to make your digits higher. I'm running the DBCS for 32,000 -35,000 in less than 30 minutes

[Lanny1966]

Are you a PTF?

[flygirlgotgame]

I wish I am...

I'm just a casual mailhandler right now but I used to be a casual clerk

[dougla718]

@flygirlgotgame how does being a casual worker work? i was invited for a interview thatr will last 6 hrs.....im not sure what they mean by non-scheduled days,...do you pick your own hours?.....the position title is casual clerk/mailhandler

[Lanny1966]

I used to be a PTF Automation Clerk and now I'm a PTF Mail Handler. The Regulars are slow EVERYWHERE!

If you are a hardworking PTF, you will be chosen to pick up the slack for others. You will also be the "floater" that learns EVERYONE'S jobs, so that you can do their jobs when they call in sick often, or on their days off.

Slacker PTFs will only have to do a specific job, because they are not reliable.  They will not be treated differently, because of this, which is unfortunate.

[flygirlgotgame]

thanks for the info...

I'm learning...

as long as they're protected by union it's ok.

well e started on the same career and we both end up as mail handler...

mail handler job is too tough and rough...

this job is perfect for guys only...

It's too hard for me but I manage...

My first 4 hrs work at the warehouse to scan the parcel for outgoing mail

The next 4 hrs I'm working at "APPS" sweeping sometimes on semi-

[yokaikifujin]

Seriously! What no flipping the mail?!!! How do they expect you to get a 100,000 done every night????? No they were ass slow on this video! But it's great because I can finally show my husband I don't sit behind a desk all night!

[GMF14692]

Miss the good old LSM Machines.The DBCS"S SUCK!!!!.After 8 hours on a DBCS and they want 27,000 per hour your legs and back are killing you.Would love to see some of the 204b"s that have 6 months service and think they are all that try working one of these

[garicmidknight]

[clover0048]

[katare01]

[tacikcim]
