or colloquially postie in australia 2 canada 3 new zealand 4 and the united kingdom 5 is an employee of a post office or postal service who delivers mail and parcel post to residences and businesses the term mail carrier came to be used as a gender neutral substitute for mailman soon after women began performing the job in the royal mail the official name changed from letter carrier to postman in 1883 6 and postwoman has also been used for many years 7 united states edit in the united states there are three types of mail carriers city letter carriers who are represented by the national association of letter carriers rural carriers who are represented by the national rural letter carriers association and highway contract route carriers who are independent contractors while union membership is voluntary city carriers are organized nearly 93 percent nationally 8 city letter carriers are paid hourly with the potential for overtime they are also subject to pivoting on a daily basis when a carrier s assigned route will take less than 8 hours to complete management may pivot said carrier to work on another route to fill that carrier up to 8 hours postal management uses this tool to redistribute and eliminate overtime costs based on consultation with the carrier about his her estimated workload for the day and mail volume projections from the dois delivery operations information system computer program routes are adjusted and or eliminated based on information length time and overall workload controlled by the program consultations with the carrier assigned to the route and a current ps form 3999 street observation by a postal supervisor to determine accurate times spent on actual delivery of mail citation needed postmen walking in the laneway beside brisbane s general post office c 1936 rural carriers are under a form of salary called evaluated hours usually with overtime built into their pay the evaluated hours are created by having all mail counted for a period of two or four weeks and a formula used to create the set dollar amount they will be paid for each day worked until the next time the route is counted citation needed highway contract routes are awarded to the lowest bidder 9 and that person then either carries the route themselves or hires carriers to fulfill their contract to deliver the mail letter carriers typically work urban routes that are high density and low mileage such routes are classified as either mounted routes for those that require a vehicle or walking routes for those that are done on foot when working a mounted route letter carriers usually drive distinctive white vans with the logo of the united states postal service on the side and deliver to curbside and building affixed mailboxes carriers who walk generally also drive postal vehicles to their routes park at a specified location and carry one loop of mail up one side of the street and back down the other side until they are back to their vehicle this method of delivery is referred to as park and loop letter carriers may also accommodate alternate delivery points if extreme physical hardship is confirmed 10 in cases where mail carriers do not have assigned vehicles they may also get undelivered mail from relay boxes placed along their routes 11 20th century mounted postman in buenos aires rural carriers typically work routes that have a lower density and higher mileage than those of letter carriers 12 they all work mounted routes leaving their vehicles only to deliver to group mailboxes or to deliver an article that must be taken to a customer s door however with former rural areas being urbanized their routes are growing very similar to mounted city routes rural carriers often use their own vehicles and are not required to wear a uniform because of urbanization around cities and because rural carriers deliver mail at less cost to the postal service the rural carrier craft is the only craft in the postal service that is growing citation needed highway contract route carriers work routes that were established with a density of less than one customer per mile driven some later become denser and can then be converted to rural delivery they are only mounted routes and all hcr carriers use their own vehicle these routes are typically found in outlying areas or around very small communities 21st century postman in london delivering mail from a modern mail cart the three types of mail carriers are also hired differently a new letter carrier begins as a city carrier assistant cca 13 rural carriers are hired as rural carrier associate rca carriers without benefits there is normally an rca assigned to each rural route and they typically work less frequently than city ccas as a result there are thousands of rca positions that go unfilled due to lack of applicants that are instead covered by other rcas until hiring improves 14 for the hiring process explained highway contract route carriers are hired by the winning bidder for that route they are not united states postal service employees and normally receive lower pay than carriers on city or rural routes female carriers edit jeanne decorne a female
