USPS CCA vs RCA Which one is for you??

Thanks a lot for the tips and advise. I'm impressed with your experience and knowledge.

This was a SUPER HELP FULL VIDEO THANK YOU SO MUCH‼️‼️

In 27 years, as a letter carrier, I've been bit by dogs, stung by bees, attacked by Mockingbirds, slapped by a mentally challenged girl, broke my ankle twice, been in a car accident in both my car and a postal vehicle (not my fault), had plantar's foot, had many customers scream at me for little things, screwed up my knee, worked in blazing 98 degree weather, delivered in blizzards, hurricanes, and darkness, and a few other minor things. Now, at 59, I'm ready to call it quits. Too many changes to a banged up body to keep going.

It's also good to know your city's streets. And when you step into the case cold turkey, you know how it delivers. Worked a lot of zip codes as an rca! Got a lot of work.

I thought about CCA but then went RCA here in AZ cause when I applied I never knew there were two different types of carrier positions. I enjoy being an RCA a ton honestly. Most of our routes are cbus and mounted..still though, things are rural and a ton of long drive ways. So, you wouldn’t expect it, but I walk a ton. I’ve lost a ton of weight. Anyway, we’re both doing the same thing and we’re all serving the American public

Thanks bro this really helped me out. I’m trying to decide which one I wanna do.

Thanks for the videos- you seem like a nice guy

Thank you ❤

Thank you so much for your video. Can you tell me that for RCA if you use your personal vehicle, do they pay you for gas / maintenance?

New contracts came in and RCAs have more perks now!

thank you

Shoot I get in 25,000 steps in daily. I walk tons as a RCA. I do love my relaxed uniform. We have enough LLVs so we dont need to use our cars. I've moved up seniority fast too. Also the more routes you learn the more time you get. I've been working tons personally. I don't get how you CCAs live at work long ass hours. In a yr I've only been out at 9pm 3x. But like you stated every area is different. Regardless of our title we are all family. Over Xmas my longest stretch was 16 dys lol With so many out with covid/vacation we are coming in at 6am helping with parcels then starting our routes early. Since we help with parcels thats extra pay, our if we go out and rescue our coworkers that again is separate/added pay. Our office is rural but not really country with so many developments being built. Monday was brutal lol. Thanks for sharing your pros and cons 🙂

Dude, Nice job sticking with the key points.

One big con for RCA is that not everyone has the resources for a POV postal vehicle to start with on the get-go. And there isn't a lotta help for it. It's answered with, "It's always been that way" sorta half ass answer

You nailed it! 👏

What should be expected at "fingerprints and pre.hire discussion" ?? Obviously fingerprints will be taken but I was looking for some input about what exactly is pre hire discussion about, is it an interview, any input would be great!! Thanks in advance

Did the background check take awhile? Tomorrow will be 2 weeks for Me

If you are from a smaller town and thinking about applying for a CCA job go to the post office and ask how many city routes there are and how many CCAs are there. Cause if there’s a full staff and the regulars are younger, you're not gonna get very many hours.

I have a question I took the test for PSE and passed. I have filed an application for RCA and CCA, I haven’t received a notification for the to take the test. The supervisor contacted me via telephone because I explained my situation by via email. Well, the supervisor told me to come to the post office to get me started to do fingerprints. What is your suggestion go for it or wait?

RCA sounds nice, but i live in Philly and I HATE driving around here, i think i’m choosing CCA, that exercise is going to be good for my body
