Misuse of Postal Vehicle
Not if it’s a postal vehicle.
You are prohibited from using a postal vehicle to:
- drive to the airport for annual leave
- perform any task for your outside business or second job
- run errands
- commute between work and home
- transport unauthorized passengers
The minimum penalty for misusing a postal vehicle is 30 days suspension without pay. Different rules apply to use of a postal vehicle while you are on official travel or you are serving in a long-distance detail assignment.
Using a postal vehicle only for postal business preserves the life of the vehicle and eliminates extra fuel expenses.
And that’s smart business.
