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.
