The USPS is much more dynamic now. A decade ago, the mail was delivered on the exact same route. about the same time, and usually the same employee.! Now, a USPs truck might be passing your house 3 times a day because of their multiple contracts with the private sector. The USPS employee was the dream job until recently— it’s a $hitty job with goos pay/benefits right now.

I remember when I was a kid in a mid-sized town, our carrier was one older guy for like 15 years.

Now I've seen the same young girl delivering mail for the past few weeks, which is the longest I've ever seen the same carrier. There have been times when it's been a different carrier every day for weeks at a time.
