People do not understand what all their rural carrier does on a daily basis to ensure that their mail is delivered to them. They do not realize the hours we spend sorting the mail and casing the mail or the time constraint that we're under. Also, when you are an RCA you are always on call. Your hours are not guaranteed. Some weeks you will work everyday and the next you might work one day. You also have to do routes sometimes that you dont know which can be stressful. It is probably one of the hardest jobs out there....But the pay is great!!
