How Much Money I Make As A USPS Mail Carrier! 

$100,426 as a regular with 24 years of service. Could have made more but got off the list in June. Some regulars at top pay on the list for all year make $110,000-125,000. We should get a 10-15 percent raise so money is solid middle class not to mention all the lifelong benefits so I am very thankful. Merry Christmas everyone and a great New Year.

$117,000 as a 8 year Career Carrier The biggest thing that sucks about our job. Nick, is how long we have to work to make top pay, I still have like five years. But that’s the way the cookie crumbles at USPS

Bro how is it that you’re an inspiration to me and I’m 33. Starting school in January. This job is tough, but I have job security as well. I don’t know if I necessarily see myself working as a mail carrier forever but I’m gonna use this job to pay for my school in the meantime. Always enjoy watching your content Nick. Your videos are something I look forward to. Thanks again man! Merry Christmas and happy new year!

I'm happy for you, It's good to see a fellow Chicago citizen doing good.😎👍 You inspire me.

Thanks, Nick, for appreciating and loving your jobs, past or present. I bet you are one of the best employee an employer can have. Keep it up!

Greetings and well wishes for 2024! I'm new to your channel and appreciate your candid content on this process. And a big thank-you to all the amazing carriers out there making sure I get my mail and packages. In fact, just yesterday, I too applied for and passed 474 assessment for a CCA here in NE Indiana. $19.33 hourly. Im still waiting on background/fingerprint onboarding. I didn't know all the details surrounding city and "rural" routes with differing career paths/time-frames. And, I know realistically this isn't a cake walk, it's a TON of walking and navigating, even though, I'm currently very active in facilities maintenance/custodial, working in a 120K sq. foot building lugging around cleaning equipment to multiple floors. Although I'm not a spring chicken anymore, I thought I might like to give this a go as I know my vicinity very well from previous delivery jobs, restoration/ crime scene cleaning, w/solid cust. service, and driving skills. I'm open to any tips, tricks, or suggestions. Fingers crossed. Thank-you again and a great New Year all!

Yoo I’m a carrier too. Keep grinding!! Happy holidays!

What gripes me is the deductions take like a third of our checks. 🤦

It’s not bad actually , get paid to stay in shape , u have people making 100k+ but sit on a chair 10 hrs a day eating junk , of course u have in shape Office workers and bad shape mailmen but u get the idea

Happy holidays and many blessings. May you have a wonderful life.

I’m going to be a CCA I have my orientation by February five I’m ready to this new challenge

I’m trying to get in as a cca or rca. I want the cca spot cause of more hours and it’s faster to be hired in. My application is in the pre hire list step. And I did my background check a couple of days ago, so hopefully I get the job! I’m from the Rockford area in illinois so I’m glad I found your channel!

Happy anniversary Nick! Made 80k as a 4 year carrier

38k been a regular for 5 months. T6 for 3 months. So about 6 months of work and am at 38k

I made 123000 this year max carrier in Houston you have to file your article 8 grievances and you will hit 100k

Thanks Nick... You are a big inspiration. I got an offer Friday, filled out Background check. Going for fingerprint next week. Hoping to be working soon !!!! CCA Independence, MO

I’ve been carrying for 8 winters now and there are 2 carriers above me who I’ve never met . They’ve been on injury for that long so it’s kinda unbelievable. Merry Christmas Nick

Just got hired as a PTF, did my orientation yesterday, took my driving classes today, now I got my exam tmr, how hard is the driving exam?

Stay blessed man 🙏🏾

Happy anniversary Nick!

just applied to usps. how do i become a PTF and a regular? just keep working for 2 years? or do i need to apply for something extra? and for the union, do i need to apply for it or am i automatically in it?

Thank you. Starting the academy July 15th.

I'm in the processing of getting hired. Does the $36 an include in Florida as a RCA?

130K here, top step but still a lot of OT.

Congrats Nick , question did the post office or do they give any type of Christmas Bonus?

Hey brotha I'm in the middle of the fingerprints exam in Los Angeles for cca but I live in orange county. I really want the job I do, but I feel like it is far. But you did mention they'll ask how far you live to relocate you? Is this for sure? I really want the job and I might have to sacrifice to drive all the way to Los Angeles everyday to work for usps in LA. Please help with advice please

Nick. What is the overtime:hours like in January? I’m Hearing mixed messages that it will be dead at post office and no work to it will Be busy with lots of people taking time off

As a newer employee at the post office suggest you contribute as much as you can to your tsp. Go Roth.

I can't do mail. USPS was the only job I just upped and quit. I do have a love hate relationship with big brown though. 📦

Awesome pay !!!! I know you work so hard !!!! Wow

What’s your pay rate and how many hours do you work per week as fulltime, seems you get more life work balance as a regular and only the first two years are hell Merry Christmas 🎄

Congrats on making Regular status Nick. Just subscribed to your channel. I will be starting orientation on March 11th as a CCA, and its my understanding that CCAs wear "regular" clothes while on the job, until they get that uniform voucher (after 90/ 120 days?). Can you give me an idea of what I can wear while on my routes, thats appropriate prior to purchasing actual uniforms? For context, I live in Arizona, and it's getting ready to heat up in the next few months, and it will be 110 to 115 in June/ July. I was thinking just keep it simple with a light blue/ or postal blue shirt, with blue-ish/ gray cargo shorts. A navy bucket hat for protection.

Hey Nick! Just curious what you meant when you said you make double pay after 10 hrs of work. Usually OT pay is 1.5x after 40 hrs a week? Thanks man, enjoy your vids!

Hey nick I start my orientation tomorrow in Pittsburgh I’m little confused the position said career Carrier instead of city carriers is there a difference?

Ahhh ok. The cauliflower ear now makes sense. Did you ever go pro?

Question .. i just got offered a city carrier position to a different city.. im looking to get reassigned. Currently, im a mail handler and my current step is step F.. what would my pay be if i transition over to a city carrier ..? Thanks

Nick do you idea about what it is in Wilmette Illinois as City Carrier? Got an offer for an opening as career city carrier. Currently CCA right now at Grand Rapids MI.

When you said you got every holiday off and Sundays off, are you enjoying life more even though you made less money? Or does it bother you

Your a great guy!!

I just got hired as a reg mail carrier. So I’m just asking questions to see what I’m about to run into so I guess I’ll will be off on Sunday and b working crazy Monday after the weekend

I recently was hired for city carrier PTF. Nick How many hours a week are you working?

How much do class a drivers make? And what experience you need?

Nick how old are you brother? I’m about to go back to the post office. I worked for them in 2016 & worked 2 years as a cca & got no regular position when they promised it. I left because I was salty but I’m coming back after all those years. I think it was my favorite job even though they worked me like a dog but at least the checks will look amazing! Looking forward to get back out there & getting where you are.

Hi Sir Nick, I hope to be a city carrier soon. I am on the process of hiring now. Whats your piece of advice for us being a new carrier? thank you so much . New subscriber here. god bless

Do a PTF get two days off or you have to be a real regular

Hey nick did your brother only work on sundays when he was with usps ?

What percentage did you set up for TSP contributions? I am finally going to get converted to PTF in January and was thinking I should max out the contributions. I just dont know what the max is

What is your hourly pay now? And how long does it take/how many years to get to $36/hr?

I’m going through process now I work from home and have secound job as well

Do you have to have driving experience to be a CCA.And how much money do you bring home I know the get paid every 2 weeks?

8 years made 112k

Im a regular for 6 yrs now been a CCA for 5 years, i make 60-65k so far. Thats with over time. I dont get how some others in the comments are making more unless your working overtime like crazy

I want max hours.. should i switch crafts?

What shoes do you wear/recommend?

Can you explain what a float set is?

Is that before or after taxes?

Damn just get to it

Hey nick I have a question whats the point of a shop stewart of the postoffice?

3:16 This is a solid job. It doesn't pay too much nor too little. I'll definitely consider it if I loose my current job. Especially if I can be a class A driver and overnight.

Is your brother still an ARC?

You want to get a rental property? Have you ever dealt with tenants before? Yikes 😬

Mail Carrier union isn't good. You guys pay should be way better...Yeah I remember you in that strip club 😂

I've done package delivery for a storage company for few years before I did a 10 month stint at USPS during the pandemic. Mail delivery is tedious but heavy package delivery that FedEx/UPS does...ends up killing your back after a few years. We were worked like sledge dogs during the height of the pandemic, so I had to walk away (I started getting double mail, a pivot and a bump everyday). My station (coworkers included) was great for the most part but mail/package volume was just insane. I'm planning on trying it again now that pandemic is well behind us and things have calmed down. I miss all the walking that comes with being a CCA and being outside all day.

Just went regular on Dec. 16

What’s a Ptf?

Doesn't seem like a job for a college student 😔

goddamn this dude is fine af! i’ll let him do whatever lol

What’s regular mean

It’s been 3 years wow

That's a problem! When people can't loose there job. When they never show up etc
