“Given the daily events that could occur in a carrier or driver’s day, reaching this milestone is a step to be recognized,” said Philadelphia Postmaster Leroy Middleton. “The city of Philadelphia benefits daily from the excellent safety performance of these employees. Their commitment to safety shows excellent customer service, hard work and dedication to the Postal Service.”

Driving for the Postal Service is a privilege that requires all drivers to demonstrate safe driving practices throughout their careers. Behind-the-wheel job candidates undergo a rigorous screening, training, and testing process to earn credentials to operate postal vehicles.
