Background:

The United States Postal Service has one of the largest vehicle fleets in the world. Each driver will be presented with an “Expert Driver” certificate in recognition of their safety and years of service. Our drivers face hazardous road conditions, congestion, gridlock, city and rural terrain and they are required to be defensive drivers daily. “As outlined in USPS’s Delivering for America plan, we’re continually improving our processes and adapting to the changing needs of our customers.

The United States Postal Service is an independent federal establishment, mandated to be self-financing and to serve every American community through the affordable, reliable and secure delivery of mail and packages to 169 million addresses six and often seven days a week. Overseen by a bipartisan Board of Governors, the Postal Service is implementing a 10-year transformation plan, Delivering for America, to modernize the postal network, restore long-term financial sustainability, dramatically improve service across all mail and shipping categories, and maintain the organization as one of America’s most valued and trusted brands.

The Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
