Carol, I had this conversation yesterday at our rural post office. I was unaware that rural post offices do not provide vehicles for their delivery people. They use their own vehicles. They get a gas allowance which has not adjusted to the rising gas prices. What the hell !

The rural letter carriers used their own vehicles as far back as the Depression. My motherтАЩs father was a rural letter carrier. There was even a Rural Letter Carriers Association. I saw photos of my grandparents at an association dinner.
Jenn, I did not know that until yesterday. Are they allotted the pension that "inside" postal workers get? I have a friend that has been with the Post Office 35 years and recently retired with a decent pension. I would hope they would receive that.

It has been like that all my 78 years!
I was married to a mail carrier - well aware of the whole personal vehicle issue. Nothing has changed in that regard. Not for rural carriers.
