Tractor-trailer operators transport mail and packages from processing and distribution centers to other USPS facilities.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

March 15, 2022<\/span>
\nThe Postal Service is continuing a pilot program to add more tractor-trailer operators, who play an important role in the organization by transporting mail and packages from processing and distribution centers to other facilities in the USPS network.<\/p>\n

The program, which began last year<\/span><\/a>, is geared toward motor vehicle operators (MVOs) who have a Class A commercial learner\u2019s permit and wish to become tractor-trailer operators.<\/p>\n

USPS works with Sage Truck Driving Schools<\/span><\/a>, a national training company, to offer approximately 152 hours of curriculum to train volunteer MVOs.<\/p>\n

Once an MVO completes the courses and required licensing, he or she spends 80 hours operating tractor-trailers for the Postal Service.<\/p>\n

MVOs who meet expectations will have an opportunity to move into a tractor-trailer operator role permanently.<\/p>\n

The program, which was previously available at select locations, is now available to all eligible MVOs across the nation.<\/p>\n

MVOs who want more information should speak to their facility\u2019s transportation manager or Human Resources office.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
