What is a USPS rural mail carrier?

USPS Rural Mail Carriers are United States Postal Service employees responsible for delivering mail and packages to customers in rural and suburban areas. They drive designated routes, deliver letters, parcels, and sometimes collect outgoing mail. Rural carriers often use their own vehicles and are compensated for mileage. Their duties can include selling postal products, obtaining signatures, and ensuring timely and accurate deliveries. Rural carriers play a vital role in connecting remote communities to the national postal network.
